Parasympathetic Nervous System Activation Gaining context The Autonomic Nervous System has two parts: the sympathetic and the parasympathetic.  These two structures represent polarities along the spectrum of change within the body. The diagram below shows the the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) in blue and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) in red. Notice that both are intimately connected to all areas of the body. In youth, the PNS dominates and the SNS only activates in cases were fight or flight is required. Normally the SNS effects are short lived in the body. However, as one ages, the SNS becomes more active, and the PNS becomes less active.  Sympathetic Nervous System The SNS is responsible for the 'fight, flight, or freeze' response. When the SNS is activated, the body creates neruochemicals associated with stress, such as acetylcholine, norepinephrine, adrenaline,   and  cortisol. These stimulate an adrenergic response which leads to, increased perspirat
