Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

After a good meal, Jane is relaxing comfortably as her food digests, suggesting her <u>parasympathetic</u> nervous system is in control. When she is frightened by a loud noise, Jane's digestion is inhibited and her heartbeat accelerates, suggesting her<u> sympathetic </u>nervous system is in control.

1) Slowing the heart rate

2) Increasing the intestinal activity ( the reason why  Jane is relaxing comfortably as her food digests )

3) Relaxation of the sphincter muscles of the GIT.

2) Inhibition of secretion of GIT enzymes ( the reason why digestion of JANE is inhibited )

3) Relaxation of the walls and the contraction of the sphincters of the GIT smooth muscle.
