A sudden feel of the need to perform a bowel movement shows the activation of the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system.
Explanation:
- After consuming food, when an individual intends to relax it is found that the breathing and the heart rate reduces, and a need for bowel movement arises.
- These actions are all caused by the parasympathetic system of the nervous system, which controls the digestive and rest system and helps in conserving energy.
- It relaxes the digestive tract, enhances the gland and intestinal activities and lowers the heart rate.
