Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in the body. The ANS is a component of the peripheral nervous system that controls involuntary physiological functions.

Differentiate between the autonomic nervous system and the somatic nervous system. The somatic nervous system is responsible for voluntary movements, primarily controlling skeletal muscles.

Identify the types of functions regulated by the ANS. The ANS manages involuntary functions such as heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination, and sexual arousal.

Recognize that the ANS is divided into two main branches: the sympathetic nervous system, which prepares the body for 'fight or flight' responses, and the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes 'rest and digest' activities.

Evaluate the given statements based on the understanding of the ANS. The correct statement is that the ANS regulates involuntary functions such as heart rate and digestion, distinguishing it from the somatic nervous system, which controls voluntary muscle movements.
