| | Autonomic Nervous System |
 | | Through these nervous pathways, the autonomic nerves convey stimuli resulting in largely unconscious, reflex, bodily adjustments such as in the size of the pupil, the digestive functions of the stomach and intestines, the rate and depth of respiration and dilatation or constriction of the blood vessels. | | | The autonomic nervous system conveys sensory impulses from the blood vessels, the heart and all of the organs in the chest, abdomen and pelvis through nerves to other parts of the brain (mainly the brain stem which consists of the medulla, pons and hypothalamus). | | | The afferent nerves sub serving both systems convey impulses from sensory organs, muscles, the circulatory system and all the organs of the body to the controlling centers in the medulla, pons and hypothalamus. |

| | nervous system on Encyclopedia.com |
| | The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. | | | All of the fibers of the autonomic nervous system are motor channels, and their impulses arise from the nerve tissue itself, so that the organs they innervate perform more or less involuntarily and do not require stimulation to function. | | | Because it is linked to those centers, however, the autonomic system is influenced by the emotions; for example, anger can increase the rate of heartbeat. |

| | The Autonomic Nervous System |
| | The sensory arm of the autonomic reflex pathway is similar to the somatic reflex: sensory information is relayed to the spinal cord via sensory fibers originating in peripheral visceral receptors. | | | Blushing, fainting at the sight of a needle and butterflies in the stomach are all examples of emotional influences on autonomic function. | | | The sympathetic and parasympathetic systems are continually active and the basal rates of activity are known as sympathetic and parasympatheric tone respectively. |

| | SPINE AND THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM |
| | The autonomic and somatic nervous systems are the integral anatomical and physiological components of the spine. | | | By virtue of the fact that the sympathetic ganglia have a close affinity to the spine, the pathologic spinal or autonomic changes are apt to affect the function of these two distinct structures. | | | Reflex sympathetic dystrophy is a syndrome that may develop as a consequence of any noxious stimulus (trauma, ets.) chronically affecting the sympathetic system in the limbs, craniocervical region, thoracolumbar region, or visceral organs (stroke, heart attack, or cancer). |

| | The autonomic nervous system |
| | Autonomic also means self-regulating and this is a key principle of all body systems, which depend of constant feedback in order to maintain homeostasis. | | | This over-stimulation may be a result of many things – compression of the vagal nerve &; a crucial mediator of the parasympathetic nervous system -during birth; an environment or life-style that is unsettling; internal conflict in the mother etc (or of a combination of these). | | | I am going to take you from a basic picture of the functioning of the autonomic nervous system, as you would find it outlined in any physiology textbook, through a more developed holistic conception of it, to a model which situates it directly within conscious and unconscious communications/exchanges of object relations. |
