The autonomic nervous system is the system of nerves which carries instructions from the central nervous system to the body's organs[1][2]. It is responsible for the regulation of important functions such as temperature regulation and breathing.
The autonomic nervous system is divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.[3]
