The two nervous systems control involuntary bodily functions that work together in the sense of keeping the body in homeostasis while responding to external stimuli. Sympathetic is referred to as fight or flight because it preps the body for danger or stressful situations by increasing your heart rate, blood pressure, and can even cause sweating. Once the danger or stressor has been resolved, the parasympathetic system calms your body by lowering your heart rate and blood pressure and balances your body which is why it's called the rest system. The other part is the fact it stimulates digestion to happen hence the digest title.
