Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) with the sympathetic nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system, and the enteric nervous system is one of the central biological systems that regulate the body’s physiology.

Autonomic nervous system regulatory capacity begins before birth as the sympathetic and parasympathetic activity contributes significantly to the fetus’ development.

Peripheral stimuli influence the ANS to modify neural inputs to the kidney, intestine, and lymphoid organs (16).
