    The document describes the parasympathetic nervous system (PANS) and sympathetic nervous system (SANS). PANS is associated with rest and digestion, uses muscarinic and nicotinic receptors, and acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter. SANS is associated with fight or flight responses, uses alpha and beta receptors, and uses both acetylcholine and catecholamines as neurotransmitters. The systems have opposing effects on various organ systems.
