autonomic motor nerves
Autonomic motor nerves are part of the nervous system that control involuntary functions in the body. They regulate activities such as heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate without conscious effort. These nerves are essential for maintaining homeostasis, ensuring that the body responds appropriately to internal and external changes.
There are two main divisions of autonomic motor nerves: the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic division prepares the body for "fight or flight" responses, while the parasympathetic division promotes "rest and digest" activities. Together, they help balance the body's automatic functions.
