The autonomic nervous system manages an incredible array of organs and involuntary processes to assure that you stay alive and functional.
The Autonomic Nervous System automatically controls essential processes whether you’re awake or asleep. It’s the employee of the month. It gets the job done at any time of the day without you even having to ask it. It is our body’s autopilot system, controlling functions we often take for granted, like heart rate, digestion, pupil dilation, and even breathing! Life would be pretty hard on manual.
On This Episode We Discuss:
- “I Sing The Body Electric”
- Hemo and chemo-electric machines
- The nervous systems
- Autonomic nervous system manages many organs and functions
- Sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves
