The autonomic nervous system controls the internal activities of the human body including heart rate, breathing, digestion, disposal of waste products, and toxins.
It is divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
The sympathetic nervous system prepares our body to face stressful and threatening situations. It prepares us for a ‘flight or fight reaction. The job of the system is just opposite to its name.
The parasympathetic nervous system takes over when the situation becomes normal. It directs our body to store energy for emergencies.
