The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system are separate in the chicken. The parasympathetic nervous system is like our reflex system. It is a knee jerk reaction that by passes the brain. It came from running from predators.

Actually, chickens can and DO run when their heads are cut off, because their nerves are still alive for a few more seconds. An instinctive response to trauma will often take place, and they are able to run a few steps.
