Final answer:
The sympathetic nervous system does not enhance digestion; it inhibits it during 'fight or flight' response, so the statement is false.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement 'The sympathetic nervous system enhances digestion to provide more energy for the body' is false. The sympathetic nervous system is associated with the 'fight or flight' response, and it actually inhibits digestion.
When the sympathetic nervous system is activated, the body prioritizes functions that are necessary for immediate survival, such as increasing heart rate and blood flow to muscles, while non-essential functions like digestion are suppressed.
The energy demands during intense physical or emotional situations are high, so the body conserves resources that would be spent on digestion to be able to meet those immediate demands.
