Within the brain, the autonomic nervous system is regulated by the hypothalamus. Autonomic functions include control of respiration, cardiac regulation (the cardiac control center), vasomotor activity (the vasomotor center), and certain reflex actions such as coughing, sneezing, swallowing and vomiting.he autonomic nervous system is unique in that it requires a sequential two-neuron efferent pathway; the preganglionic neuron must first synapse onto a postganglionic neuron before innervating the target organ.
Plates at our planet s surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth s core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down.
How does the movement of tectonic plates contribute to the rock cycle? The forces that move tectonic plates push deep rocks up to Earth's surface, and also push rocks at Earth's surface down to great depths. Tectonic plate motion may also lead to volcanic activity. What role do heat and pressure play in the rock cycle?
