Question

Sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are often synergistic in their functions.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• The autonomic nervous system is divided into two subdivisions. They are the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.
• The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) controls the body's responses to a perceived threat and is responsible for the "fight or flight" response while The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) controls homeostasis and the body at rest and is responsible for the body's "rest and digest" function.
  
• Hence Sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are often antagonistic(opposing) in their functions.
• So, the given statement is false.
