- The autonomic nervous system (ANS), originally known as the vegetative nervous system, is a part of the peripheral nervous system that controls the operation of internal organs by supplying smooth muscle and glands.
- The autonomic nerve system is a semi-conscious control system that governs body activities including heart rate, digestion, breathing rate, pupillary response, urine, and sexual desire.
- This system is in charge of the fight-or-flight response.
- Integrated reflexes control the autonomic nervous system, which run from the brainstem to the spinal cord and organs.
- Control of breathing, cardiac regulation (the cardiac control center), vasomotor activity , and reflex behaviours such as coughing, sneezing, swallowing, and vomiting are all autonomic activities.
- The autonomic subsystems and the peripheral nervous system are related to these divisions, which are subsequently split into further domains.
