Control of the Autonomic System

Regulation/control of the Autonomic Nervous System (Autonomic Nervous System):

• The control of the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions is by higher centers sited in the hypothalamus.

• Homeostasis is thereby maintained by hypothalamic integration of the Autonomic Nervous System and Neuroendocrine systems.

• This is possible by the secretion of releasing factors and release-inhibiting factors.

• The cerebral cortex, hypothalamus and limbic systems work in concert to affect homeostasis.
