Control system: The ANS helps to control functions such as heart rate, breathing, sweating ; digestion. The 2 parts are sympathetic which rapidly activates functions and the parasympathetic which is slower and rachets down body response, although this is considered involuntary action, humans can learn some degree of active control over heart rate, BP ; circulation fascinating examples of the power of the mind.
