The 85 pages that link to Autonomic nervous system, each with the reason it gives.

• HomeostasisRelated: Its rapid signals adjust heart rate, blood vessel tone, and other regulated functions.

• AcetylcholineNarrower topic: Acetylcholine signals at all autonomic ganglia and at most parasympathetic target organs.

• Neuromuscular junctionCompared with: Its neuroeffector junctions differ from the sharply localized skeletal neuromuscular junction.

• Sympathetic nervous systemNarrower topic: The sympathetic division is one of its major branches.

• EmotionRelated: Its activity produces many bodily changes that accompany emotion.

• HypothalamusCompared with: It provides rapid neural outputs that complement the hypothalamus’s slower endocrine control.

• Orthostatic hypotensionNarrower topic: Its sympathetic responses normally constrict vessels and support pressure after standing.

• Sexual arousalRelated: Its sympathetic and parasympathetic branches contribute to bodily changes associated with arousal.

• InteroceptionRelated: Its activity produces bodily changes that interoception can register.

• Peripheral nervous systemBroader topic: It carries peripheral commands that adjust organ activity without deliberate control.

• Central nervous systemRelated: The central nervous system adjusts organ activity through autonomic pathways.

• Serotonin syndromeRelated: Its dysregulation accounts for features such as sweating, tachycardia, and elevated temperature.

• VasodilationRelated: Its signals can alter vascular tone in selected tissues.

• Enteric nervous systemNarrower topic: The enteric system is often grouped with autonomic control but can function independently.

• Sexual dysfunctionRelated: Its activity contributes to physiological arousal and orgasm.

• Motor neuronRelated: Its motor pathways control effectors beyond skeletal muscle.

• Guillain–Barré syndromeRelated: Autonomic nerve involvement can cause dangerous fluctuations in heart rate and blood pressure.

• Parasympathetic nervous systemNarrower topic: The parasympathetic system is one of its major divisions.

• Nervous systemBroader topic: It coordinates many responses of internal organs.

• Fight-or-flight responseNarrower topic: The response is a rapid mobilization within this broader control system.

• Heart rateNarrower topic: Its sympathetic and parasympathetic branches adjust the heart’s pacing.

• Cranial nervesNarrower topic: Cranial nerves III, VII, IX, and X carry parasympathetic output.

• ArousalRelated: Arousal often changes heart rate, breathing, and other autonomic functions.

• FibromyalgiaNarrower topic: Autonomic symptoms and regulation are studied alongside pain processing in fibromyalgia.

• NeuroanatomyNarrower topic: Its peripheral pathways show how anatomy supports control of organs and internal states.

• OrgasmRelated: Autonomic activity shifts during orgasm and contributes to its bodily changes.

• PranayamaRelated: Slow breathing can influence autonomic activity, though effects vary by technique and person.

• BaroreflexNarrower topic: Its two branches adjust cardiac activity and vascular tone in response to pressure signals.

• PheochromocytomaNarrower topic: Catecholamines from the tumor intensify autonomic responses.

• Psychosomatic medicineRelated: Its activity connects emotional states with changes in bodily function.

• Salivary glandNarrower topic: Salivary output is controlled by both autonomic branches.

• Valsalva maneuverNarrower topic: Its reflex pathways shape the cardiovascular response to the maneuver.

• Cholinergic crisisNarrower topic: Crisis symptoms reflect excessive signaling in autonomic pathways as well as at skeletal muscles.

• Sexual medicineRelated: Its sympathetic and parasympathetic pathways contribute to physiological arousal and sexual response.

• Vasovagal syncopeNarrower topic: Vasovagal syncope arises from a transient autonomic reflex.

• KundaliniCompared with: Physiological accounts may interpret reported awakening sensations through autonomic changes, unlike tantric explanations.

• Somatic nervous systemCompared with: Unlike somatic output to skeletal muscle, it primarily controls visceral effectors.

• Spinal nerveCompared with: Autonomic fibers travel with spinal nerves, but the nerve itself also carries somatic fibers.

• XerostomiaRelated: Autonomic signals regulate salivary secretion and can alter mouth moisture.

• Pancreatic isletNarrower topic: Autonomic inputs adjust islet secretion during feeding, fasting, and stress.

• Relaxation techniqueNarrower topic: Its activity helps explain bodily changes associated with relaxation.

• BrainRelated: It carries many of the brain’s commands to internal organs.

• Mammalian diving reflexNarrower topic: Its sympathetic and parasympathetic branches coordinate the reflex's cardiovascular changes.

• Anticipatory anxietyNarrower topic: Anticipated danger can activate bodily arousal through this system.

• Heart rate variabilityRelated: Its opposing pathways continually adjust the heart’s pacing and create much of short-term HRV.

• HypervigilanceRelated: Its arousal responses can sustain the bodily readiness associated with hypervigilance.

• Limbic systemRelated: Limbic activity can influence bodily responses through autonomic pathways.

• Multiple system atrophyNarrower topic: Its dysfunction accounts for orthostatic hypotension, urinary problems, and other prominent symptoms.

• Small fiber neuropathyNarrower topic: Small-fiber damage can disrupt these involuntary functions as well as sensation.

• BruxismRelated: Changes in autonomic activity can accompany episodes of sleep bruxism.
