Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The autonomic nervous system is responsible for regulating involuntary actions in the body, including heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate. It consists of two branches, the sympathetic nervous system (responsible for the fight or flight response) and the parasympathetic nervous system (responsible for rest and digest functions). The somatic nervous system controls voluntary movements while the central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. Adaptive nervous system is not a recognized term in neuroscience.
