Autonomic Nervous System PPT: What It Is, Function & Disorders

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) controls involuntary bodily functions, regulating vital processes like heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. It operates automatically, without conscious effort, and is divided into two main branches: the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. The sympathetic system prepares the body for “fight or flight” responses in stressful situations, increasing heart rate and redirecting energy to muscles.

The parasympathetic system, on the other hand, promotes “rest and digest” activities, slowing the heart rate and facilitating digestion. Together, these systems maintain the body’s internal balance (homeostasis), adjusting bodily functions according to external and internal demands.
