1. The autonomic nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system.

2. The two divisions of the autonomic nervous system are sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.

3. Flight or fight is associated with the sympathetic nervous system.

4. Feed and breed or rest and digest are associated with the parasympathetic nervous system.

5. The sympathetic nervous system increases heart rate, the rate of breathing, permit the eyes to get all the lights in, restrict the flow of the blood to the limbs, and makes the muscles react quickly.

6. The parasympathetic nervous system increases the consumption and digestion of food, searching for mates for reproduction, the rebuilding of damaged muscle, enhances the production of bile, and empty urinary bladder or rectum.
