Detailed explanation-1: -Your sympathetic nervous system is a network of nerves that helps your body activate its “fight-or-flight” response. This system’s activity increases when you’re stressed, in danger or physically active.
Detailed explanation-2: -The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is one of two main divisions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Its general action is to mobilize the body’s fight-or-flight response.
Detailed explanation-3: -This next section will discuss this in terms of its divisions, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic nervous system, also known as the “fight or flight” system, increases energy expenditure and inhibits digestion.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
