Which of the following is not a result of parasympathetic stimulation?

a. increased peristalsis of the digestive viscera

b. elimination of urine

c. dilation of the pupils

d. salivation

Answer: c. dilation of the pupils

Finally, the general effects of the parasympathetic division are rest and digestion therefore this option is accurate; Peristalsis of the digestive viscera (credit to Movies), Urine elimination and salivation are the effects of a parasympathetic division. However, one false statement is related to the pupil’s dilation and it is option c and it is not caused by parasympathetic stimulation. However, due to operations, close work, and focusing attention on charges, jobs, or objects near them, the parasympathetic nervous system provokes pupil constriction. This is the case because constriction of pupils is a result of parasympathetic stimulation: when the pupils are constricted and the least amount of light is allowed into the eye, near objects are well focused. Pupil dilation is due to sympathetic stimulation and when the body is ‘in for a fight’ more light is allowed into the eye hence distant and peripheral vision is improved.
