Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system releases neurotransmitters that have more localized effects, such as slowing heart rate and increasing digestion in specific organs. The sympathetic division, on the other hand, releases neurotransmitters that have more widespread effects on the body, such as increasing heart rate and dilating airways.
