Introduction

The parasympathetic nervous system is basically one among the three divisions of the autonomic nervous system. It is otherwise called rest and digest system.

Acetyl choline and nitric oxide are among the major neurotransmitters of the parasympathetic neurons. Parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the control of the body functions when a person is resting, some of its functions include digestion stimulation, activation of metabolism and helps in the overall relaxation of the body.
