Autonomic Nervous System - Introduction. The organs of our body (viscera), such as the heart, intestines and stomach, are regulated by a branch of the nervous system known as the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system and controls the function of many muscles, glands and organs within the body. We are usually quite unaware of the functioning of our autonomic system because it functions in a reflexive and involuntary manner.
The Dome of the Rock in the center of the Temple Mount. The Dome of the Rock (Arabic: ÙØ³Ø¬Ø¯ ÙØ¨Ø© Ø§ÙØµØ®Ø±Ø©, translit.: Masjid Qubbat As-Sakhrah, Hebrew: ×××¤×ª ××¡××¢, translit.: Kipat Hasela) is an Islamic shrine and a major landmark in Jerusalem.
In the Texas Hill Country a massive granite dome rises 325 feet above the surrounding terrain. Called Enchanted Rock by early settlers, this awe-inspiring formation is the tip of the second largest batholith in the United States. Long before European settlers came to the area, Native Americans believed the domes of Enchanted Rock to be inhabited by spirits.
