Question

is Mastication is an autonomous nervous system​

Answer 1

Answer:

Chewing is primarily an unconscious act, but can be mediated by higher conscious input. The motor program for mastication is a hypothesized central nervous system function by which the complex patterns governing mastication are created and controlled.

Answer 2

These findings suggest that chewing and bruxism-like activities are autonomic behaviors in response to stressful conditions, acting as stress-coping mechanisms.
