This calming reaction is due to the action of Bridge's "Parasympathetic nervous system".


The parasympathetic nervous system, or PSNS, is a piece of the nervous system. The nervous system sends signs to and from various body parts by means of nerves. The PSNS is in charge of all the substantial exercises that happen when a creature is very still. Hence, the PSNS is known as the "rest and digest" some portion of the sensory system. These activities can incorporate processing sustenance, discharging waste, crying, salivating, or winding up sexually stimulated. The partner of the PSNS is the thoughtful sensory system (SNS), which is in charge of "fight or flight" exercises that happen when a creature is choosing to battle another or escape.
