The sympathetic division is characterized by a more extensive divergence compared to the parasympathetic division. This means that when the sympathetic system is activated, it can influence multiple organs simultaneously, preparing the body for a "fight or flight" response. This is in contrast to the parasympathetic system, which is more focused and affects specific target organs individually, promoting a "rest and digest" state.
