The Autonomic Nervous system is responsible for fight or flight.
Parasympathetic is the stimulator and the sympathetic is the one that calms. Many drugs mimic this system

∙ 13y agosympathetic is fight or flight (increases your heart rate, dilates your pupils, dilates your airways, decreases gastic motility). It is controlled by the sympathetic chain of nerves.
Parasympathetic is 'rest and digest' (decreases heart rate, constricts pupils, dilates airways and increases gastic motility). It is controlled by the vagus nerve.

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)
