Clinical autonomic disease and the role of autonomic testing. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is responsible for the homeostatic control of numerous bodily functions such as blood pressure and body temperature regulation, urinary function, pupil size, sweating, sexual function, and digestion.
Scar tissue forms as skin heals after an injury (such as an accident) or surgery. Depending on the extent of the surgery, scar revision can be done while you are awake (local anesthesia), sleeping (sedated), or deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia).
Scar Revision (Scar Repair) Whether caused by injury, surgery, or burn, scars can be disfiguring. Scars stand out against the rest of the skin because scar tissue is made of collagen cells rather than ordinary skin cells. As a result, scars are usually a different color, and do not have sweat glands or hair follicles.
