Explain the difference between sympathetic and parasympathetic reactions as they occur in the autonomic nervous system?
The sympathetic nervous system is most active when you are in an emergency, exercising, or an exciting or embarrassing situation. It is often referred to as the "fight-or-flight" system. It increases the heart rate, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels. It also dilates the bronchioles of the lungs, and dilates the blood vessels of the skeletal muscles.

It conserves your body's energy by slowing the heart rate. It also promotes digestion.sypmathetic is the "fight or flight" response and the parasympathetic is the "rest and digest" responses
