Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the "fight - or - flight" response, while the parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the "rest - and - digest" response. The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system includes all the nerves outside the central nervous system. The somatic nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system and is responsible for voluntary movements.

the autonomic nervous system
