Controls the normal movement of the diaphragm
Controls peristalsis
Involves fight/flight responses
Controls the release of bile into the duodenum
Increases heart rate when scared
Controls and triggers the release of epinephrine (aka adrenaline) when scared
Involves "rest and digest"
Controls the normal beating of the heart
Increases the release of saliva when eating
Signals the SA node when at rest
Causes the stomach and small intestine to slow activity when threatened

Sympathetic
