True, the autonomic nervous system may cause activation or inhibition, depending on the division that is active and the target that is affected.
There are two parts that make up the autonomic nervous system: the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system. Based on the target tissue, both the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous systems can act in either an excitatory or an inhibitory manner.
The excitatory effects of the sympathetic nervous system lead to a faster heart rate, but at the expense of decreased digestion (inhibitory). Inhibitory effects are exerted by the parasympathetic neural system, which also prompts an increase in digestive activity (excitatory). So the statement is true.
