A
Regulation of heart rate during exercise
B
Pupil dilation in response to light
C

D
Salivation during eating
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the roles of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems: The parasympathetic system is often referred to as 'rest and digest,' while the sympathetic system is known as 'fight or flight.'
Identify the concept of cooperative effects: Cooperative effects occur when both the parasympathetic and sympathetic systems work together to produce a unified response.
Analyze the options given: Consider how each option involves the interaction of both systems.
Examine the process of salivation during eating: The parasympathetic system stimulates the production of saliva, while the sympathetic system can modify the composition of saliva, making it a cooperative effect.
Conclude that salivation during eating is an example of a cooperative effect, as both systems contribute to the process in a complementary manner.
