Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The autonomic nervous system is responsible for regulating and controlling involuntary bodily functions such as breathing, heartbeat, and digestion. It has two branches, the sympathetic and parasympathetic, which work together to maintain homeostasis in the body. The somatic nervous system, spinal reflexes, and cerebrospinal fluid do not regulate these functions.
