The autonomic nervous system is responsible for regulating the "fight or flight" response of the body, which involves increasing heart rate and blood pressure in response to stress. The respiratory system and acid-base buffer system are not directly involved in this physiologic response. The parasympathetic nervous system, on the other hand, would have the opposite effect and lower heart rate and blood pressure.
