Parasympathetic Nervous System


This picture really makes me think of the parasympathetic nervous system because this guy obviously very relaxed and that’s what your parasympathetic nervous system does for your body. I know it's not necessarily this kind of relaxed, but that's what it makes me think of.

Parasympathetic nervous system: the part of the autonomic nervous system originating in the brain stem and the lower part of the spinal cord that, in general, inhibits or opposes the physiological effects of the sympathetic nervous system, as in tending to stimulate digestive secretions, slow the heart, constrict the pupils, and dilate blood vessels.
