The sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system are two components of the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary bodily functions. The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the "fight or flight" response, preparing the body for stressful situations by increasing heart rate, dilating pupils, and inhibiting digestion. In contrast, the parasympathetic nervous system promotes the "rest and digest" state, facilitating relaxation, lowering heart rate, and enhancing digestion. Together, these systems maintain homeostasis by balancing the body's responses to various stimuli.
The Sympathetic Nervous System and the Parasympathetic Nervous System
The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are subdivisions of the autonomic nervous system.

The parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system or antagonistic. They have opposing effects.
The parasympathetic and sympathetic systems are branches of the autonomic nervous system.
The effects of the sympathetic nervous system are essential opposite those of the parasympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system accelerates functions such as heart rate and breathing and the parasympathetic slows these bodily processes down. The sympathetic also inhibits digestion, whereas the parasympathetic stimulates digestion. The sympathetic nervous system produces "fight-or-flight" reactions, while the parasympathetic functions under relaxed conditions.
