What are the Two components of autonomic nervous system the?

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) consists of two divisions :

1. Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS):

- Mobilizes the body for action, preparing it for "fight or flight" responses.

- Increases heart rate, dilates pupils, inhibits digestion, and stimulates the release of adrenaline (epinephrine).

2. Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS):

- Maintains homeostasis and the body's "rest and digest" functions.

- Reduces heart rate, constricts pupils, stimulates digestion, and promotes overall relaxation.

These divisions work in balance to regulate various bodily functions and achieve overall physiological equilibrium.
