The term "parasympathetic" refers to a division of the autonomic nervous system that promotes the body's rest-and-digest functions. It counteracts the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the fight-or-flight response. The parasympathetic system helps to conserve energy, regulate bodily functions such as digestion, and maintain homeostasis by slowing the heart rate and increasing intestinal activity.
