Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is composed of two main subdivisions, the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. These two divisions have opposite effects on bodily functions such as heart rate, digestion, and respiration. The sympathetic division is responsible for the "fight or flight" response while the parasympathetic division is responsible for the "rest and digest" response.
