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.

The autonomic nervous system and the pituitary gland are controlled by the?
The autonomic nervous system is controlled by the brainstem, hypothalamus, and spinal cord. The pituitary gland is controlled by the hypothalamus through the release of specific hormones that regulate pituitary function.
Breathing is a function controlled by the autonomic nervous system?
The nervous system controls breathing rate.
What kind of Eye muscles are controlled by the autonomic nervous system?
intrinsic eye muscles are controlled by the autonomic nervous system
What is the function of sacral nerve?
Autonomic nerve function in body
What system contols glandular activity and smooth muscle?
They are controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
What is the function of the autonomic?

What is a autonomic body function?
"Autonomic" functions are the functions of the body that occur involuntarily, that is, they happen and you have no control over them. Example of autonomic functions in human are the regulation of the heartbeat and the secretion of the hormones.
Is the smooth muscle of the respiratory system is controlled by the autonomic nervous system?
Yes, the smooth muscle of the respiratory system is primarily controlled by the autonomic nervous system. The sympathetic division typically causes bronchodilation, relaxing the smooth muscle and widening the airways, while the parasympathetic division induces bronchoconstriction, tightening the smooth muscle and narrowing the airways. This autonomic regulation helps to control airflow and respiratory function in response to various physiological needs.
Which autonomic centers are in the brainstem and are controlled by the hypothalamus?
The autonomic centers in the brainstem that are controlled by the hypothalamus include the cardiovascular center and the respiratory center. The hypothalamus helps regulate these centers to maintain homeostasis in the body.
Is skeletal muscle controlled by the Autonomic Nervous System?
No. Smooth muscle is controlled by the autonomic nervous system (like the intestinal muscles). Two skeletal muscles in the middle ear automatically respond to sound.
