Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system is activated during "fight - or - flight" responses. It causes increased sweating (to cool the body during physical exertion), increased blood flow to muscles, heart, lungs and brain (to prepare the body for action), and increased blood pressure (to ensure adequate blood supply to vital organs). The parasympathetic nervous system is associated with "rest - and - digest" functions. It causes a decrease in heart rate (to conserve energy) and an increase in digestive activity and elimination of body wastes (to process food and remove waste when the body is at rest).
