Respuesta :

Clearly her "parasympathetic nervous system" has now been activated.



The parasympathetic sensory system (PNS) controls homeostasis and the body very still and is in charge of the body's "rest and process" work. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) controls the body's reactions to an apparent risk and is in charge of the "fight or flight" reaction. The PNS and SNS are a piece of the ANS, or autonomic nervous system which is in charge of the automatic elements of the human body.
