Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ANS (autonomic nervous system) is responsible for regulating involuntary processes such as heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and respiratory rate. It consists of motor fibers that conduct nerve impulses from the CNS (central nervous system) to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands, controlling their activity. Therefore, choice D is the correct choice, as it accurately describes the ANS.
