Explanation

The sympathetic division of the nervous system triggers the 'fight or flight' response, preparing the body to handle stressful or emergency conditions. In contrast, the parasympathetic division promotes relaxation, the somatic division controls voluntary movements, and the adaptive division is not a recognized part of the nervous system.
