AB The  autonomic  nervous  system  (ANS)  innervates  the  entire  neuraxis  and  influences  all  organ  systems.  It  regulates  blood  pressure  (BP),  heart  rate,  sleep,  and  bladder  and  bowel  function.  It  operates  automatically;  its  full  importance  becomes  recognized  only  when  ANS  function  is  compromised,  resulting  in  dysautonomia.  Hypothalamic  disorders  that  cause  disturbances  in  homeostasis  are  discussed  in  Chaps.  23  and  401e.
