Det autonome nervesystem

The autonomic nervous system is the involuntarily functioning part of our nervous system, which controls the body's internal organs.

It is composed of the so-called sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, which work in opposition to each other.

Together, the two systems control cardiac muscles, smooth muscles and glands.

There are also clearly marked lines leading from the spinal nerve to the ganglia and the corresponding organ.

The spinal cord, spinal nerves and the affected organs are also illustrated.
A detailed cross-section of the human torso and head shows the spinal nerves. All nerves are also labelled with correct anatomical names.
