The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) regulates the action of smooth muscles, cardiac muscle, and some glands.
In other words, the ANS regulates involuntary (automatic; unconscious) actions.


There are two major divisions of the ANS. The parasympathetic division functions under normal conditions (to maintain homeostasis), and the sympathetic division of the ANS functions under stress.
Some times the sympathetic divison is called the "Fight or Flight" response and the parasympathetic division is called the "Rest and Repose {turkey dinner syndrome)" response.

How can there be two opposite meanings for the same symbol?

It is, of course, illogical to have two opposite meanings for the same symbol. However, language does not necessary evolve in a logical way. Human culture is largely unplanned, it just happens. So if different people decide to use the same symbol in different, or even opposite ways, then the symbol will acquire those different or opposite meanings.
