The nervous system (NS) can be divided into the central nervous system (CNS) which is the brain and spinal cord and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) which is the rest of the body. One of the general functions of the NS is Motor function.
Motor function uses peripheral neurons so this particular function belongs to the PNS. Motor functions can be divided into two categories: (1) As motor functions of the Somatic Nervous System and (2) as motor functions of the Autonomic Nervous System.
The Somatic nervous system is voluntary and controls skeletal muscle.
The autonomic nervous system, or ANS, is that part of the peripheral nervous system that is involuntary. The ANS controls and regulates smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and glands. Most neuron axons in the ANS are unmyelinated and myelinated axons are rare.
It's not possible to describe the ANS without also describing the SNS and mentioning at least one of the functions (Motor function)of the nervous system. You need to see how they all fit together.

What is the functions of the autonomic nervous system?
The involuntary nervous system that is involved with organ regulation is called the Autonomic nervous system (ANS) and is comprised of the Sympathetic nervous system and the Parasympathetic nervous system.
What are the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system divisions of?
I just got this question, and I couldn't find it on the Internet, but my Biology book says the autonomic nervous system. If you have the same book, the answer is D. Good luck! :D
Is autonomic central system part of central nervous system?
The autonomic nervous system is a division of the peripheral nervous system that controls automatic responses in the body, such as the heart rate, hormone levels, gastrointestinal functions, and metabolism.
What part of the nervous system controls your internal organs?
the autonomic nervous system
Is the autonomic nervous system?
The autonomic nervous system that controls the functions within the body. Some functions that it controls are the heartbeat, digestive system, and breathing. The autonomic nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system that acts as a control system. It functions largely below the level of consciousness to control visceral functions.
What describes the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system?
The autonomic nervous system.
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
The peripheral nervous system is made up of the autonomic systems and what other system?
The peripheral nervous system is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous systems.
What is the functions of the autonomic nervous system?
The involuntary nervous system that is involved with organ regulation is called the Autonomic nervous system (ANS) and is comprised of the Sympathetic nervous system and the Parasympathetic nervous system.
What is autonomic dysfunction?
Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is known as dysautonomia. The autonomic nervous system regulates unconscious body functions.
How many divisions of the autonomic nervous system are there?
The autonomic nervous system is responsible for the control of the functions of the internal organs and it has two divisions. These are the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system.
What is the nervous system that functions without conscious effort?
The autonomic nervous system functions independently and continuously without conscious effort.
What is the 2 parts of the nervous system?
The autonomic nervous system and the somatic nervous system.
What effects does the autonomic system have on the heart?
what effect does autonomic nervous system have on heart
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 are the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system divisions of?
I just got this question, and I couldn't find it on the Internet, but my Biology book says the autonomic nervous system. If you have the same book, the answer is D. Good luck! :D
