The '''autonomic nervous system''' is the system of [[nerve]]s which carries instructions from the [[central nervous system]] to the body's [[organ]]s<ref>Martin, JH (2003). Neuroanatomy text and atlas 3rd ed., New York: McGraw-Hill</ref><ref>Kandel, ER; Schwartz JH, Jessell TM (2000). Principles of Neural Science, 4th ed., New York: McGraw-Hill. ISBN 0-8385-7701-6</ref>. It is responsible for the regulation of important functions such as temperature regulation and breathing. Thus in essence, the ANS controls the automatic and involuntary functions.
