Answer: Your welcome!

Step-by-step explanation:

Sympathetic reflexes are those that help to prepare the body for a “fight or flight” response, such as increased heart rate, increased respiration, and the release of adrenaline. Parasympathetic reflexes are those that help the body to relax and return to a resting state, such as decreased heart rate, decreased respiration, and the release of calming hormones. The nerves in our spinal cord are responsible for sending messages to the body in order to trigger these reflexes.
