Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The autonomic nervous system consists of two divisions - sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. They are responsible for regulating automatic processes within the body such as heart rate, digestion, and breathing. It is not the brain and spinal cord itself, but rather a part of the peripheral nervous system that controls smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands. The somatic nervous system is responsible for voluntary movements and is not a part of the autonomic nervous system.
