The autonomic nervous system controls the involuntary processes of the body (heart rate, blood pressure, involuntary breathing, parastalsis and intestinal movement, etc.).
It does not control voluntary central nervous system functions, such as movement (motor control), sensation, and executive functions (thinking of something and then doing it).
