What Does SNS Stand For?

SNS stands for Sympathetic Nervous System

The Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) is a critical component of the autonomic nervous system that prepares the body for "fight-or-flight" responses during stressful situations. It regulates physiological changes such as increased heart rate, heightened alertness, and energy mobilization, allowing the body to respond effectively to perceived threats. The SNS works in conjunction with the parasympathetic nervous system to maintain homeostasis within the body, balancing the activation and relaxation responses as needed.
