    They work in opposite direction in order to maintain organism's homeostasis.

    Explanation:

    Parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems are part of the autonomic nervous system which controls unconscious actions within the body.

    The parasympathetic system is system that works while orgnism is at rest, so it is responsible for stimulation of "rest-and-digest" stimulation. On the other hand sympathetic system is active during the stress situations and it is said that it stimulates activities associated with the fight-or-flight response.

    So, for example both of those systems are involved in the control of heart rate: parasympathetic decreases heart rate, while sympathetic system increases contraction and heart rate.
