Summary Introduction

To explain:

How the fibers of on autonomic division can control the actions of a particular organ?

Introduction:

The autonomic nervous system is that part of a peripheral nervous system whose functions are independent and continuous without any conscious effort. The autonomic system is involved in regulation of the activities of cardiac tissue, smooth muscles, or organs. The autonomic system is further divided into the sympathetic division and parasympathetic division. Both divisions work antagonistically by regulating the body functions by either inhibiting or activating them.
