Vegetatives Nervensystem/en

The vegetative nervous system is an essential part of the nervous system with sympathetic and parasympathetic to regulate the basic functions of the body and adapt organ function to current performance requirements.

It supplies the heart muscles, all smooth muscles, exocrine and endocrine. Glands, the blood vessels and the contractile elements of the skin. We distinguish between conscious and unconscious control in our organism. The unconscious control functions are taken over by the vegetative nervous system.

Defined automatic adaptation and regulation processes are carried out via the vegetative nervous system, which cannot be influenced deliberately by humans, or at most indirectly.

The autonomic nervous system controls vital functions such as heart function, respiration, blood pressure, digestion and metabolism. Other organs or organ systems are also innervated by the autonomic nervous system, such as the sexual organs, glands or the inner eye muscles (ciliary muscle, see visual system).
