The autonomic nervous system coordinates many bodily functions that are not generally under conscious control (i.e., involuntary functions). For example, the autonomic nervous system regulates the function of cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and various glandular structures (e.g., sweat glands, salivary glands, and some endocrine glands). Test your basic knowledge of the autonomic nervous system by taking this simple quiz.
