The two integral parts of the autonomic nervous system are the sympathetic nervous system responsible for, "rest and digest" and the parasympathetic nervous system that is responsible for, "fight or flight".

∙ 13y agoIt is most often divided into two subsystems:
* The parasympathetic nervous system
* The sympathetic nervous system
Recently, a third subsystem of neurons that have been named "non-adrenergic" and "non-cholinergic" neurons (because they use nitric oxide as a neurotransmitter) have been described and found to be integral in autonomic function, particularly in the gut and the lungs.

Name the two branches of the autonomic nervous system and describe the function of each branch?
Name the two branches of the autonomic nervous system and describe the function of each branch.
What part of the peripheral nervous system is composed of the somatic and autonomic nervous systems?
Spinal nerves , cranial and branches
What is the function of the autonomic nervouse system?
The autonomic nervous system controls the involuntary functions of the body, such as heart rate, digestion, and breathing. It has two branches: the sympathetic branch, which activates the body's "fight or flight" response, and the parasympathetic branch, which promotes relaxation and rest. Overall, the autonomic nervous system helps to maintain homeostasis and regulate vital bodily processes.
In contrast to the somatic nervous system the autonomic nervous system?
has two motor neurons
Is organized into two divisions controls the involuntary actions of the body?
The peripheral nervous system is divided into two categories: autonomic and somatic systems. The autonomic system is the one that controls involuntary actions.
Name the two branches of the autonomic nervous system and describe the function of each branch?
Name the two branches of the autonomic nervous system and describe the function of each branch.
How many branches does the autonomic system have?
too many
Autonomic function is controlled by what?
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) contributes to the stability of the internal environment of the body (homeostasis). The autonomic nervous system continuously makes adjustments to our body to maintain equilibrium. The ANS regulates cardiac and smooth muscles and glands. One example of the function of the autonomic nervous system is when our pupils constrict when bright light is shining into our eyes. There are two main branches of the autonomic nervous system, the sympathetic and parasympathetic.
What is the autonomic nervous system part of?
The autonomic nervous system is part of the Peripheral Nervous System, or PNS. The autonomic nervous system is responsible for involuntary movements, the smooth and cardiac muscles. Sympathetic (fight or flight) and Parasympathetic (rest and digest) are branches of the ANS.
What system of the peripheral nervous system is further divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions?
The parasympathetic and sympathetic systems are branches of the autonomic nervous system.
What part of the peripheral nervous system is composed of the somatic and autonomic nervous systems?
Spinal nerves , cranial and branches
What is the function of the autonomic nervouse system?
The autonomic nervous system controls the involuntary functions of the body, such as heart rate, digestion, and breathing. It has two branches: the sympathetic branch, which activates the body's "fight or flight" response, and the parasympathetic branch, which promotes relaxation and rest. Overall, the autonomic nervous system helps to maintain homeostasis and regulate vital bodily processes.
Two divisions autonomic nervous system?
Sympathetic and parasympathetic
The motor system is divided into which two systems?
somatic and autonomic
What nervous system innervates cardiac and smooth muscles and glands?
They are controlled by the autonomous nervous system.== ==
What kind of Eye muscles are controlled by the autonomic nervous system?
intrinsic eye muscles are controlled by the autonomic nervous system
In contrast to the somatic nervous system the autonomic nervous system?
has two motor neurons
