Descriptor sistema nervioso autónomo
Entry term(s) sistema nervioso vegetativo
Scope note: El sistema nervioso autónomo lo constituyen el SISTEMA NERVIOSO ENTÉRICO, el SISTEMA NERVIOSO PARASIMPÁTICO y el SISTEMA NERVIOSO SIMPÁTICO. En términos generales el sistema nervioso autónomo regula las funciones internas, tanto en ausencia de actividad como en situaciones de ejercicio físico o de estrés emocional. La actividad autónoma está controlada e integrada por el SISTEMA NERVIOSO CENTRAL, especialmente por el HIPOTÁLAMO y el NÚCLEO SOLITARIO, que reciben información a través de las VÍAS VISCERALES AFERENTES.

Scope note: The ENTERIC NERVOUS SYSTEM; PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM; and SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM taken together. Generally speaking, the autonomic nervous system regulates the internal environment during both peaceful activity and physical or emotional stress. Autonomic activity is controlled and integrated by the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, especially the HYPOTHALAMUS and the SOLITARY NUCLEUS, which receive information relayed from VISCERAL AFFERENTS.
