AB The  autonomic  nervous  system  (ANS)  innervates  the  entire  neuraxis  and  influences  all  organ  systems.  It  regulates  blood  pressure  (BP),  heart  rate,  sleep,  glandular,  pupillary,  bladder  and  bowel  function.  It  maintains  organ  homeostasis  and  operates  automatically;  its  full  importance  becomes  recognized  only  when  ANS  function  is  compromised,  resulting  in  dysautonomia.  Hypothalamic  disorders  that  cause  disturbances  in  homeostasis  are  discussed  in  Chaps.  15  and  371.
