The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is responsible for regulating involuntary functions, including heart rate. Within the ANS, the sympathetic division increases heart rate during stress or activity, while the parasympathetic division slows it down during rest. Together, they maintain the balance needed for the heart to function properly.
