In short, stimulation of the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system prepares the body for emergencies: for "fight or flight". This system allows for these reactions to occur with out upsetting the balance of the human body. It increases activity that is necessary to the "fight or flight" response(ex: blood pressure, heart rate, and adrenaline) and decreases activity that is unnecessary (ex: salivation and digestion)
