Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -i) Its main job is to regulate the body’s rest response, digest response, and homeostasis. ii) Parasympathetic nerves originate from the middle of the spinal cord in the sacral region. iii) The PSNS acts more slowly than the sympathetic nervous system, in contrast to the sympathetic nervous system’s rapid action.
