Parasympathic Vs. Sympathic

These are both sections of the autonomic nervous system.
The parasympathic is referred to as the rest and digest system. It regulates resting functions such as digesting food or emptying you urinary bladder.

The sympathetic is referred to as the fight or flight system. This system prepares you for physical activity. It prepares you to battle or to run.
