Vegetative Nervous System

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.

Über das vegetative Nervensystem werden die lebenswichtigen Funktionen wie Herzfunktion, Atmung, Blutdruck, Verdauung und Stoffwechsel gesteuert. Auch andere Organe oder Organsysteme werden vom vegetativen Nervensystem innerviert, so beispielsweise die Sexualorgane, Drüsen oder die inneren Augenmuskeln (Ziliarmuskel, siehe Visuelles System).
