AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
• The autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulates the functions of: internal organs such as the heart, stomach and intestines and controls some of the muscles within the body.
• We are often unaware of the ANS because it functions involuntary and reflexively. For example, we do not notice when blood vessels change size or when our heart beats faster.

The ANS is most important in two situations:
Flight or Flight • In emergencies that cause stress
and require us to "fight" or take "flight" (run away)
Rest and Digest • In non-emergencies that allow
us to "rest" and "digest.“ ( also referred to as rest and repose)

Autonomic Nervous System-Which state would you rather be in?
Flight or Fright In these types of situations, your sympathetic nervous system is called into action - it uses energy - your blood pressure increases, your heart beats faster, and digestion slows down.
Rest and Repose • Now is the time for the
parasympathetic nervous to work to save energy. This is when blood pressure can decrease, pulse rate can slow, and digestion can start.
