MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -As stated previously, the sympathetic system is activated during emergency “fight-or-flight” reactions and during exercise. The parasympathetic system is predominant during quiet conditions (“rest and digest”).

Detailed explanation-2: -Your autonomic nervous system breaks down into three divisions, each with its own job: Sympathetic nervous system: This system activates body processes that help you in times of need, especially times of stress or danger. This system is responsible for your body’s “fight-or-flight” response.

Detailed explanation-3: -If you’re suffering from chronic stress, your body spends too much time in “fight or flight” mode, carried out by the sympathetic nervous system, and not enough time in “rest and digest” mode, facilitated by the parasympathetic nervous system.
