View in English: Involuntary nervous system
Sistema nervioso involuntario
La parte del sistema nervioso que controla los músculos de los órganos internos (como el corazón, los vasos sanguíneos, los pulmones, el estómago, los intestinos) y las glándulas (como las salivales y las sudoríparas). Una parte del sistema nervioso involuntario ayuda al cuerpo a descansar, relajarse y digerir los alimentos y otra parte ayuda a la persona a luchar o escapar en caso de emergencia. También se llama sistema nervioso autónomo y SNA.
