The answer is sympathetic. It is one of two components of the autonomic nervous system; the other being parasympathetic. The other function of the sympathetic system is to maintain body homeostasis. Acetylcholine is the main neurotransmitter in the preganglionic sympathetic neurons while noradrenaline (norepinephrine) is the main neurotransmitter in the postganglionic sympathetic neurons.
