Parasympathetic Nervous System | Rest and Digest

Описание: Want the parasympathetic nervous system explained in simple terms? In this video, I’ll cover what the parasympathetic system is, the levels, synapse location, nerve length (long vs short), neurotransmitters involved, how it functions as part of the autonomic nervous system, and why it’s often called the ‘rest and digest’ response.

If you’re preparing for the NPTE, studying PT, PTA, biology, or exercise science, or you’re just curious about how your body calms down and restores balance, this video will give you a clear breakdown of the parasympathetic nervous system.

You’ll learn:
What the parasympathetic nervous system is
How it differs from the sympathetic (fight or flight) system
Key functions: digestion, heart rate, energy conservation, relaxation
Clinical relevance for physical therapy and patient care
NPTE study tips for remembering autonomic nervous system divisions
