Introduction:
The parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system is generally active during the period of rest and digest, and sexual arousal. The effects that are produced by the parasympathetic division are digestive gland secretion, pupil constriction, hormone secretion for nutrient digestion, defecation activities, and reduced heart rate.
