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.
EmotionRelated: Its activity produces many bodily changes that accompany emotion.
Sexual arousalRelated: Its sympathetic and parasympathetic branches contribute to bodily changes associated with arousal.
InteroceptionRelated: Its activity produces bodily changes that interoception can register.
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.
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.
ArousalRelated: Arousal often changes heart rate, breathing, and other autonomic functions.
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.
Psychosomatic medicineRelated: Its activity connects emotional states with changes in bodily function.
Sexual medicineRelated: Its sympathetic and parasympathetic pathways contribute to physiological arousal and sexual response.
XerostomiaRelated: Autonomic signals regulate salivary secretion and can alter mouth moisture.
BrainRelated: It carries many of the brain’s commands to internal organs.
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.
BruxismRelated: Changes in autonomic activity can accompany episodes of sleep bruxism.
James–Lange theoryRelated: Its bodily responses supply much of the feedback the theory says is felt as emotion.
Sinus tachycardiaRelated: Sympathetic activation and reduced vagal influence can accelerate sinoatrial-node firing.
Delirium tremensRelated: Its dysregulation causes the tachycardia, hypertension, and sweating seen in severe withdrawal.
Sexual stimulationRelated: Its pathways help translate sensory and psychological cues into bodily changes.
Cyclic vomiting syndromeRelated: Autonomic symptoms can accompany episodes and may reflect disrupted regulation.
Psychomotor agitationRelated: Autonomic arousal can accompany agitation, producing signs such as sweating and a racing heart.
Stendhal syndromeRelated: Rapid heartbeat and related bodily signs involve autonomic activity.
CryingRelated: Autonomic activity helps coordinate tear production and other bodily changes during crying.
Henry Hallett DaleRelated: His studies of acetylcholine and adrenaline clarified chemical signaling in autonomic pathways.
AtonyRelated: Its signals help maintain tone in organs such as the bowel and bladder.
Bodily secretionsRelated: Autonomic signals rapidly alter secretion by glands such as salivary and sweat glands.
Neurosecretory systemsRelated: Autonomic circuits can regulate endocrine tissues alongside direct neurosecretory pathways.
Pitt–Hopkins syndromeRelated: Breathing abnormalities in Pitt–Hopkins syndrome involve functions normally regulated automatically.
Reproductive and Urinary Physiological PhenomenaRelated: Its pathways influence bladder activity and aspects of sexual function.
Walter Rudolf HessRelated: The bodily functions Hess elicited were largely autonomic.
