text: In general, the sympathetic nervous system increases activity and metabolic rate (the "fight or flight response"), while the parasympathetic slows activity and metabolic rate, returning the body to normal levels of function (the "rest and digest state") after heightened activity from sympathetic stimulation (Chamberlin and Narins 2005).
text: THE use of coloured light works by stimulating or calming the activities of the nerve cells that make up the sympathetic nervous system, which heightens activity in the body, such as breathing rate and the parasympathetic nervous system , which has the opposite effect.
text: In heart failure, the sympathetic nervous system increases its activity, leading to increased force of muscular contractions that in turn increases the stroke volume, as well as peripheral vasoconstriction to maintain blood pressure.
