The Parasympathetic Division is in charge of "rest and digest" and has a calming effect on many body functions. The sympathetic division is in charge of the "fight or flight" increasing breathing rate allowing more oxygen intake, and increase of heart rate allowing more blood to flow throughout body.

parasympathetic division
This system controls autonomic functions. These are what are called the "fight or flight" response and the "rest and repose" responses.
The two divisions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) are the sympathetic nervous system, which prepares the body for fight or flight responses, and the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes rest and relaxation.
The parasympathetic nervous system does not stimulate the fight or flight response.
