all about what?
Parasympathetic System - Answer: Conserving energy, digesting, metabolism, and rest
2.Increases blood sugar levels, increases body temperature, and increases blood pressure - Answer: The
sympathetic nervous system primarily serves to protect an individual by doing which of the following?
(select all that apply)
C.Sympathetic Nervous System - Answer: Increasing body temperature
E.Sympathetic Nervous System - Answer: Increasing blood pressure, increases blood sugar levels,
