Question

1: The parasympathetic nervous system will cause

a) decreased secretion in the digestive glands

b) increased secretion in the digestive glands

2:  The parasympathetic nervous system will cause

a) your nose to run

b) your nose to be dry

3: The parasympathetic nervous system will cause

a) decreased motility in the GI tract

b) increased motility in the GI tract

Answer 1

1. b) increased secretion in the digestive glands.

Secretions from all the parasympathetically innervated glands is increased on stimulation via M3 and some M2 receptors. Example sweaty, salivating, lacrimation, tracheobronchial and gastric secretions.

2. a) your nose to run.

As explained above, Stimulation of parasympathetic activity results in increased nasal secretions rich in lysozyme, immunoglobulin A and glycoproteins.

3. b) increased motility in the GI tract.

Parasympathetic stimulation causes smooth muscles in most organs to contract via M3 receptors. Tone and peristalsis in the gastrointestinal tract is increased and sphincters relaxes.

Hope this helps...
