22
Q

Sweat glands in parasympathetic nervous system

A

Has little effect on secretion

23
Q

Iris muscles in parasympathetic nervous system

A

Circular Iris muscles contract which constricts the pupil

24
Q

Bronchial tube muscles in parasympathetic nervous system

A

Muscles contract which causes air passages to constrict

25
Bladder and anal sphincters in parasympathetic nervous system
Causes relaxation
26
Urinary bladder in parasympathetic nervous system
Contracts bladder wall
27
Digestive tract in parasympathetic nervous system
Speeds up peristalsis which increases digestion
28
Heart, lung and skeletal muscle blood vessels in parasympathetic nervous system
Constricts arteries which reduces blood flow
