Question
The ______ nervous system dilates bronchioles to increase airflow, while the ______ nervous system constricts bronchioles to decrease airflow.Multiple choice question.sympathetic; parasympatheticparasympathetic; sympathetic
Solution
The correct answer is "sympathetic; parasympathetic". The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the body's "fight or flight" response, which includes dilating the bronchioles to increase airflow. On the other hand, the parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the body's "rest and digest" response, which includes constricting the bronchioles to decrease airflow.
