Definition: A division of the autonomic nervous system (part of the nervous system that controls unconscious body functions) that is dominant in the absence of stress (that is, the body’s normal, resting state). The parasympathetic nervous system is designed to maintain body function and conserve the body’s energy. (The other division, the sympathetic nervous system, activates during stress and uses the stored energy of the body) Parasympathetic nerve activity includes narrowing the air passages in the lungs, constricting the pupils, decreasing the heart rate, lowering the blood pressure, maintaining normal digestive activity, and enabling the urinary bladder to empty.
