a.Fight or Flight response:an automatic physiological reaction to an event that is perceived as stressful or frightening. The perception of threat activates the sympathetic nervous system and triggers an acute stress response that prepares the body to fight or flee.
b.Rest and Digest:responsible for the body's rest and digestion response when the body is relaxed, resting, or feeding. It basically undoes the work of sympathetic division after a stressful situation. The parasympathetic nervous system decreases respiration and heart rate and increases digestion.

-What is it?

-What is the benefit of it for survival? 

It does not take conscious effort so the human brain does not have to dedicate brain power to keeping that part of us alive.

1.Fight or Flight response

In response to stress the body releases hormones by stimulating the adrenal glands and triggering the release of catecholamines(adrenaline and noradrenaline)

When the body is relaxed, resting, or feeding the parasympathetic nervous system decreases respiration and heart rate and increases digestion.
