autonomic nervous system
(awt-uh-nahm-ik) [Gk. autos, self + nomos, usage, law]
A subdivision of the motor nervous system of vertebrates that regulates the internal environment; consists of the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions.
The Autonomic Nervous System
The autonomic nervous system consists of sensory neurons and motor neurons that run between the central nervous system (especially the hypothalamus and medulla oblongata) and various internal organs such as ...
The autonomic nervous system is then split into the sympathetic division, parasympathetic division, and enteric division.
The Autonomic Nervous System is that part of PNS consisting of motor neurons that control internal organs. It has two subsystems.
part of the autonomic nervous system that regulates the involuntary activity of glands, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. It is derived from the vagal and sacral neural crest cells.

The autonomic nervous system is that part of the peripheral nervous system that is not under voluntary control.
parasympathetic system The subdivision of the autonomic nervous system that reverses the effects of the sympathetic nervous system. Part of the autonomic nervous system that controls heartbeat, respiration and other vital functions.

If blood glucose levels are low enough, the patient may become agitated, sweaty, and have many symptoms of sympathetic activation of the autonomic nervous system - they may experience feelings similar to dread and immobilized panic.
A basal part of the diencephalon governing autonomic nervous system.A section of the brain that is involved in many regulatory functions like osmoregulation and thermoregulation.
parasympathetic nervous system- part of the autonomic nervous system that regulates the involuntary activity of glands, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. It is derived from the vagal and sacral neural crest cells.
parasympathetic One of the subdivisions of the autonomic nervous system, whose fibers originate in the brain and in anterior and posterior parts of the spinal cord.
You do control the voluntary muscle in your arms, legs, neck, and torso. You have little or no control over the heart or smooth muscle. Those other muscles are under the control of the autonomic nervous system (ANS).
