Damon is giving a speech in his geography class and he is very nervous. Because he is nervous, his sympathetic nervous system is in high gear. Which of the following symptoms is Damon NOT likely to experience as a result of the functioning of his sympathetic nervous system?

The answer is b. increased digestion.

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system is responsible of our "fight or flight" reponse. It does so by releasing norepinephrine, which in prolonged production results in adrenaline. In turn, this chemical produces symptoms such as pupil dilation, and increased sweating, heart-rate and blood pressure.

The sympathetic system is not responsible of digestion.
