Does the autonomic nervous system activate the body while the peripheral nervous system restores normal functioning?
Yes. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) functions primarily to connect the central nervous system (that is, the brain and spinal cord) to the rest of the body in order to allow the brain to direct the body to perform its various functions. The PNS is divided into two parts. The somatic system controls voluntary actions, such as walking and other movements; the autonomous system controls involuntary actions, such as breathing and digestion.

Which protozoan organelle is responsible for digestion?
The organelle primarily responsible for intracellular digestion.
Does the cerebellum controls the heart rate?
No. The medulla controls heart rate, along with breathing and digestion.
