A
Feedback:
In many areas, the parasympathetic nervous system works in opposition to the sympathetic nervous system. This allows the autonomic system to maintain a fine control over vital functions. This is a homeostatic control system. Homeostatic control systems do not feed cells when they are under stress, they do not act on invading organisms, and do they shut down the body at death.
