Question

What branch of the autonomic nervous system that calms and relaxes the body after stressful activities?

Answer 1

How I remember it:

Sympathetic (branch of autonomic nervous system): fight or flight

Parasympathetic: rest and digest

Answer 2

Two branches of the autonomic nervous system, the sympatheic branch readies the body for action, and the parasympathetic which slows it down agin when the crisis is over.

Hope this helps!
