Autonomic Nervous System
Voluntary
Somatic nervous system
Regulates the functions of our internal organs, such as the heart, stomach, lungs and intestines
Automatic Nervous System
Part of the peripheral nervous system and it also controls some of the muscles within the body.
Autonomic Nervous System
Regulates involuntarily responses. For example, we do not notice when blood vessels change size or when our heart beats faster.
Autonomic Nervous System
Part of the peripheral nervous system connects the brain to the motor neurons such as those found in the skeletal muscles
Somatic Nervous System
We are in control of this system and we use it when we want to make our muscles move

two components of Autonomic Nervous System
: Sympathetic and parasympathetic Nerves
emerge directly from the brain
cranial nerves
are peripheral nerves that emerge from the cranial nerve nuclei of the brainstem and spinal cord. they innervate the head and neck. they are numbered 1 to 12 according to their order of exit to the skull fissures
Cranial Nerve
CN 1
olfactory nerve
CN II
Optic Nerve
CN III
oculomotor nerve
CN IV
trochlear nerve
CN V
trigeminal nerve
