Which of these is an effect of the parasympathetic nervous system?

increases heart rate

increases cellular metabolism

increases peristalsis within the stomach and small intestines

stimulates secretion of epinephrine

Expert Solution

ANS: increases peristalsis within stomach and small intestine

parasympathetic decreases HR,decreases cellular metabolism while sympathetic cause secretion of epinephrine.
