Description:
This is an interactive module about the parasympathetic nervous system in the head. The PNS in the head functions to constrict the pupil of the eye, accommodate the lens for near vision, stimulate tear production from the lacrimal gland, and stimulate saliva production from the parotid, submandibular, sublingual and small mucous glands in the hard palate.
