    The autonomic nervous system controls the functions of internal organs and glands. It has two divisions: the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. The parasympathetic system uses acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter and generally acts to conserve energy by slowing the heart rate, increasing gut and gland activity, and relaxing the bladder and blood vessels. The sympathetic system uses norepinephrine and epinephrine as neurotransmitters and prepares the body for "fight or flight" by increasing heart rate, constricting blood vessels, and slowing gut activity.
