The autonomic nervous system is included in the peripheral system and is largely unconscious. It controls vital body functions such as heart rate, swallowing, breathing, digestion, and arousal.
The typical incubation period for a cold is 1-3 days. This means that it takes between 24 and 72 hours from the time you are exposed to the virus until you start to experience symptoms. Of course, this doesn't mean you will get sick every time you are exposed to a cold virus.
I studied this in class this week. The incubation period for a common cold depends on the kind of virus it's caused by. The incubation period is at least two days and up to a week or two weeks depending on the cause. Some people get symptoms within the first day though.he common cold incubation period varies greatly from one person to the next. Symptoms can appear in just a few hours or as long as 10 days after exposure. The average incubation period is one to three days.
