Detailed explanation-1: -The autonomic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system that regulates involuntary physiologic processes including heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, digestion, and sexual arousal. It contains three anatomically distinct divisions: sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric.
Detailed explanation-2: -The involuntary nervous system (vegetative or autonomic nervous system) regulates the processes in the body that we cannot consciously influence. It is constantly active, regulating things such as breathing, heart beat and metabolic processes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Because the autonomic system controls involuntary activities of various visceral organs and glands, it is also called visceral neural system and involuntary neural system.
