parasympathetic nervous system
Parasympathetic.
The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system controls the fight or flight response. This response triggers physiological changes that prepare the body to either confront or escape from a threatening situation, such as increased heart rate, dilated pupils, and enhanced alertness.
The Autonomic System controls your internal movement. When receptors detect your body getting too warm, for example, impulses are sent to your skin. The response is automatic: you have no control over the action.
This system controls autonomic functions. These are what are called the "fight or flight" response and the "rest and repose" responses.
No, involuntary responses are not the only part of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS controls involuntary physiological functions such as heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate, but it also interacts with voluntary responses and higher brain functions. It is divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions, which work together to maintain homeostasis in the body. Thus, while the ANS predominantly manages involuntary processes, its influence extends to overall bodily function and behavior.
Automatic responses are carried out by the autonomic nervous system, which controls functions like heart rate, digestion, and breathing without conscious effort. They are immediate reactions to stimuli and help maintain homeostasis in the body.

Autonomic Nervous System
The autonomic nervous system controls the body's unconscious activities, such as heart rate, digestion, and breathing. It is responsible for regulating these functions to maintain homeostasis in the body without conscious effort.
