Which of the following physiological entities experience increased activity when the parasympathetic system is engaged?
Lacrimal gland, sweat gland, arrector pili
Heart, lacrimal gland, pancreas
Heart, adrenal gland, sweat gland
Gut, urinary bladder, digestive gland
The lacrimal gland, responsible for tear production shows increased activity under parasympathetic stimulation leading to increased tear secretion. Sweat glands which produce sweat to regulate body temperature also experience increased activity under parasympathetic control. The arrector pili muscles which are responsible for causing goosebumps, contract under the parasympathetic influence. Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.
