Which peripheral nervous system and subdivision are responsible for a shutdown of salivary gland secretion?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks which part of the nervous system and which subdivision controls a shutdown of salivary gland secretion.
Option 1: 'Somatic; sympathetic' is incorrect because the somatic nervous system governs voluntary muscle control and does not regulate autonomic gland secretions like saliva; therefore this pairing cannot explain gland shutdown.
Option 2: 'Autonomic; sympathetic' is the best match. The autonomic nervous system governs involuntary functions, including salivary secretion. Within it, the sympathetic division generally reduces salivary flow, producing a drier mouth, which aligns with a shutdown of secretion.
Option 3: 'Somatic; parasympathetic' is incorrect since the somatic system does not innervate salivary glands, and the parasympathetic division, not somatic, is the one that typically promotes secretion, not shutdown.
Option 4: 'Autonomic; parasympathetic' is also incorrect for the shutdown scenario because the parasympathetic division tends to increase or maintain salivary secretion rather than decrease it, so it does not account for a shutdown.
