The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) is the exact opposite of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). It will usually stop, decrease, or slow down any kinds of action.
For example, the SNS will increase the heart rate when you exercise, while the PNS will decrease the heart rate when you stop exercising.
