Solution

The parasympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system that conserves energy as it slows the heart rate, increases intestinal and gland activity, and relaxes sphincter muscles in the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, the physiological changes associated with the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system from the options provided are:

  1. Promotion of healing
  2. Decreased blood pressure
  3. An increase in the digestion of food

Increased heart rate and faster breathing are typically associated with the activation of the sympathetic nervous system, which is the part of the autonomic nervous system that prepares the body for 'fight or flight' response.
