Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a subdivision of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). It supplies nerves to the internal organs of the body like smooth muscles and glands. The functions of ANS are regulation of heart rate, digestion, urination, and respiratory rate.
