Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems work together to keep us in a state of homeostasis. The sympathetic nervous system activates the "fight or flight" response in times of stress or danger, while the parasympathetic nervous system promotes relaxation and rest. Together, they help maintain a balance in the body's internal environment. The other options either include incorrect nervous systems (somatic) or do not accurately pair the two necessary systems (parasympathetic and autonomic).
