The ANS regulates the activities of cardiac The ANS regulates the activities of cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and glands.muscle, smooth muscle, and glands.
Structurally, the ANS consists of two main Structurally, the ANS consists of two main components:components:
Functionally, the ANS operates:Functionally, the ANS operates: 1. without conscious control1. without conscious control 2. reflex arc dependent2. reflex arc dependent 3. medulla and hypothalamus override3. medulla and hypothalamus override
