Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The autonomic nervous system primarily controls involuntary body functions, including the activity of smooth muscles (found in the walls of internal organs), cardiac muscles, and glands, rather than relaying commands to somatic nerves or being under voluntary control. It is part of the peripheral nervous system, not the central nervous system, and does not directly respond to sensations in the skin.
