Summary Introduction
To review:
The opposing effects associated with sympathetic fibers as well as the parasympathetic fibers.
Introduction:
The ANS (autonomic nervous system) conducts the functions of the internal organs. It controls the different body functions such as respiratory rate, digestion, heart rate, urination, papillary response, and sexual arousal. The ANS is divided into three branches: PNS (parasympathetic nervous system), SNS (sympathetic nervous system), and the enteric nervous system. The SNS and PNS perform the opposite action in the same organ.

The effects of the sympathetic and parasympatheticautonomic divisions differ because
Why does the sympathetic division produce simultaneous effects throughout the body, in contrast to parasympathetic effects, which typically are localized to specific organs?
Why is sympathetic action diffuse and long lasting, while parasympathetic is local and short-lived? What would happen to body systems during a stressful situation if these characteristics were reversed?
