The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for rest, relaxation and digestion among other things. This would be why after you eat a meal you feel relaxed and maybe even slightly tired. This is because the parasympathetic nervous system has kicked in to allow more energy to be used by the body for digestion of the food you have just eaten.
The answer to this question is c) a rise in metabolic rate
The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for preparing you for physical activity by increasing heart rate, raise in blood pressure, etc.

Does increased parasympathetic activity cause blood pressure to increase?
no
Does the parasympathetic nervous system increase or decrease BP?
The parasympathetic nervous system serves as the "rest and digest" system, which results in vasodilation of the peripheral vessels. This results in an overall decrease in blood pressure :)
What is the sympathetic effect on the heart?
Heart rate increases with sympathetic nervous system. There is increase in stroke volume and cardiac output. With stimulation of vagus nerve or parasympathetic nervous system, You have decrease in heart rate. There is decrease the stroke volume and cardiac output.
When road surfaces become slippery you should Use cruise control Decrease the tire pressure Increase following distance Increase the tire pressure?
Increase your following distance. It will take you longer to stop. Slowing down is also a really good idea.

How do you increase the pressure of gas?
decreasing the volume available for the gas or increasing its temperature
What gland initiates stress responses increase heart rate blood pressure and metabolic rate dilates blood vessels mobilizes fat and raises blood sugar levels?

Which one of the following situations would cause air pressure to rise an increase in temperature cold air entering the region moisture entering the air?
Neither. The increase in altitude would cause air pressure to rise. :)
When venous pressure is too low what stimulates the smooth muscles in the walls of veins to contract?
parasympathetic reflexes
Drugs that increase heart rate blood pressure and breathing rate are?
Atropine increases the heart rate by increasing the sympathetic nerve stimulation while propanalol decreases the heart rate by decreasing the parasympathetic nerve stimulation.
Why there's a kussmaul breathing in dka?
It is because of the metabolic acidosis. The blood gases show low partial pressure of the CO2 and low bicarbonate because of the increase in respiration. The base excess is negative.
