Question

The ________ division of the autonomic nervous system is often called the "rest-and-digest" division.

Answer 1

Answer:

Parasympathetic nervous division

Explanation:

The parasympathetic division of nerves is a part of the autonomic nervous system which gets activated during the relax conditions.

The parasympathetic nervous system is the opposite of the sympathetic nervous system which gets activated during the stress condition.

The parasympathetic division gets activated when the level of cortisol and adrenaline gets decreased and the body responds by detoxifying, digesting and building immunity.

Thus, Parasympathetic nervous division is the correct answer.
