Question

SLUDD is an acronym that summarizes the stimulatory actions of the _____ system.

A. pathetic
B. sympathetic
C. parasympathetic
D. metabolic

Answer 1

C. parasympathetic

Step-by-step explanation:

The acronym SLUDD is useful for remembering the five parasympathetic responses. This acronym stands for salivation (S), lacrimation (L), urine (U), digestion (D) and defecation (D). Basically, the parasympathetic system stimulates all these activities. In addition to SLUDD, other important parasympathetic responses are the "three decreases": decreased heart rate, decreased airway diameter, and decreased pupil diameter.
