AB  - The  autonomic  nervous  system  (ANS)  provides  bidirectional  communication  (afferent  and  efferent  fibers)  between  the  brain  and  smooth  muscle,  cardiac  muscle,  and  exocrine  and  endocrine  glands.  Its  name  is  derived  from  the  fact  that  the  activities  of  the  ANS  are  largely  independent  (ie,  autonomous)  of  direct  conscious  control.  The  ANS  is  concerned  primarily  with  necessary  visceral  functions  like  modification  of  blood  flow  to  organs,  digestion,  and  regulation  of  cardiac  output.  Afferent  (sensory)  fibers  provide  information  regarding  the  internal  and  external  environment  and  modify  motor  output  through  reflex  arcs  of  varying  size  and  complexity.
