the CNS is the Brain and the Spinal cord which send and receive signals via the peripheral nervous system (all nerves outside the spinal cord)
So, pretty much everything really:
anything which has voluntary muscular control
some organs, including heart, lungs
temperature across the body is controlled by the hypothlamus, part of the brain
the autonomic nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system and controls glands including sweat glands, adrenal glands, salivary glands (basically most things which result in things being secreted), sexual excitation, taste and various other miscellaneous phenomena (i.e i cant remember)
but it could be argued, by being aware of these things (via consciousness which is generated in the CNS) the CNS indirectly controls these too
(you sweat more when nervous, you behave differently when sexually aroused which would lead (hopefully) to being further aroused...
