AB The  autonomic  nervous  system  (ANS)  (Fig.  189-1)  innervates  the  entire  neuraxis  and  permeates  all  organ  systems.  It  regulates  bp,  heart  rate,  sleep,  glandular,  pupillary,  and  bladder  and  bowel  function.  It  maintains  organ  homeostasis  and  operates  automatically,  its  full  importance  becomes  recognized  only  when  ANS  function  is  compromised,  resulting  in  dysautonomia.
