Detailed explanation-1: -The two divisions of the autonomic nervous system are the sympathetic division and the parasympathetic division. The sympathetic system is associated with the fight-or-flight response, and parasympathetic activity is referred to by the epithet of rest and digest. Homeostasis is the balance between the two systems.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sympathetic system controls “fight-or-flight” responses. In other words, this system prepares the body for strenuous physical activity. The events that we would expect to occur within the body to allow this to happen do, in fact, occur. The parasympathetic system regulates “rest and digest” functions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems have opposite roles. While your sympathetic nervous system carries signals that put your body’s systems on alert, your parasympathetic carries signals that relax those systems. The two systems work together to keep your body in balance.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sympathetic nervous system: This system activates body processes that help you in times of need, especially times of stress or danger. Parasympathetic nervous system: This part of your autonomic nervous system does the opposite of your sympathetic nervous system. More items •15-Jun-2022
