Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system is responsible for the fight or flight response, which includes decreasing activity of the stomach to divert blood and energy to other parts of the body. Slowing of the heart, inhibiting the secretion of adrenaline, and lowering the rate of breathing are controlled by the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for rest and digestion.
