Understand the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which controls involuntary body functions and is divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions.
Recognize that the sympathetic division is responsible for the 'fight-or-flight' response, preparing the body to respond to stress or danger.
Identify the parasympathetic division as the part of the ANS that promotes 'rest-and-digest' activities, conserving energy and maintaining homeostasis.
Note that the cerebral cortical branch and somatic branch are not part of the autonomic nervous system. The cerebral cortex is involved in higher brain functions, while the somatic branch controls voluntary movements.
Conclude that the division of the autonomic nervous system that puts you into 'fight-or-flight' mode is the sympathetic division.
