Explanation

The parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system is responsible for promoting rest, digestion, and energy conservation. In contrast, the sympathetic division prepares the body for 'fight or flight' responses. The somatic nervous system controls voluntary movements, while the limbic system is involved in emotions. The enteric nervous system regulates gastrointestinal functions.
