The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the body's "rest and digest" functions, helping the body to conserve energy and undertake activities that are not required during emergency situations, such as digestion and salivation. This contrasts with the sympathetic nervous system, which prepares the body for "fight or flight" responses.
