Our nervous system is mainly divided into two divisions: the Centeral nervous system and peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system or CNS include Brain and spinal cord, while the peripheral nervous system or PNS is further divided into the somatic and autonomic nervous system or ANS.
Autonomic nervous system or ANS controls all the involuntary functions of our body and concerned with the functions of visceral body parts and innervate smooth muscles, cardiac muscles and glands. This system act autonomously and continuously without the conscious control. For example this division controls Heart activities, GIT motility and secretions, Glands secretions, pupil size, energy metabolism, lungs airways diameter, etc.
