Autonomic nervous system<br />

<strong>The</strong> autonomic nervous system is comprised of the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.<br />

<strong>The</strong> sympathetic system is mediated neurally through the spinal cord, exiting through thoracolumbar<br />

nerves, as well as humorally, through the adrenal gland.<br />

<strong>The</strong> parasympathetic system is mediated through the vagus nerve and various other cranial<br />

nerves.<br />
