Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together. Which of the following is the best statement that describes the parasympathetic nervous system. Is it answer choice, A feed and breed answer choice B flight or fight answer choice, C both answer choices A and B or answer choice D, none of the above. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices is the statement that best describes the parasympathetic nervous system. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what we have learned about the parasympathetic nervous system to determine which of the following is the correct answer. And we can recall that something very important when discussing the parasympathetic nervous system is that the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system prepares the body for rest and digest responses and looking at our answer choices while we do not see rest and digest explicitly answer choice. A feed and breed is another type of term to describe parasympathetic nervous system responses. So answer choice, a feed and breed is the correct answer. And all other answer choices are incorrect since the flight or fight response best describes the sympathetic nervous system and not the parasympathetic nervous system. So answer choice A is the only correct answer choice. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
