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.
The autonomic nervous system regulates blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, respiration, gastrointestinal, bladder and sexual function. Quantitative, non-invasive and reproducible tests are available to assist clinicians in testing autonomic function.he autonomic nervous system controls many of the involuntary actions such as blood pressure, heart rate, thermoregulation, respiration, gastrointestinal emptying, bladder function and sexual function.
