Introduction: Autonomic nervous system is a part of the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system has two divisions efferent division (motor neurons) and afferent division (sensory neurons). The efferent division is divided into two parts; one is the somatic nervous system that controls all the voluntary functions, and the other is the autonomic nervous system that controls the involuntary function of the body.
To determine: The functions of autonomic nervous systems.
Introduction: The autonomic nervous system is a part of the peripheral nervous system. The efferent division of the peripheral nervous system consists of two parts, the somatic nervous system, and the autonomic nervous system. The autonomous nervous system is associated with the involuntary functions of the body. It controls the movement of smooth muscles, cardiac muscles, adipose tissues, and glands.
