What is ANS?

What is Automatic Nervous System?
Autonomic nervous system can be separate into sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. They are spread on the nerves of internal organs, blood vessels, and glands controlling breath, heart beat, intestines and stomach, reproduction, secretion, sweat, and body temperature.

 

The Relation between Automatic Nervous System and Human Organs

Function Organs Sympathetic Function Raise Parasympathetic Function Raise
The pace of heart beat To fasten To slow down
The trachea and the bronchia Expand the windpipe Compress the windpipe
The salivary glands To secrete ropy saliva To secrete watery saliva
Other digestive organs (the stomach, intestines, and pancreas) To restraint To accelerate
Liver To relax biliary tract and decrease the gall To compress biliary tract and increase the gall
The smooth muscles in the digestive tract To slow down the peristalsis To speed up the peristalsis
The constrictors (the pylorus, the ileocecal valve, and the anus.)  To contract To relax
The Bladder To suppress the urine To urinate
The vessels, the skeletal muscle(coronary vascular) To compress To Relax
Cerevration To excite To Relax

The Autonomic Nerves System and the Diseases

  • Autonomic Nerves System Dysfunction Results in Physiological Disorder

    1. Chest tightness, headache, and insomnia. 
    2. Sexual dysfunction
    3. Irritable bowel syndrome
    4. Overactive bladder

  • Physiological Disorder results in Autonomic Nerves System Dysfunction

1. Kidney Disease
2. Diabetes
3. Cardiovascular Disease
4. Mitral Valve Prolapse

Field for Application

  • Diabetes: detection for pathology of Autonomic Nerves System
  • Physical checkup: sub health checkup, estimation of physical age, estimation of losing weight
  • Chinese medicine: certification of scientific evidence
    Neurosurgery: determination of brain death 
  • Hypertension: Control and prevention
  • Psychiatry: dyssomnia, sexual dysfunction, depression
  • Geriatrics: guideline for medication application
  • Rehabilitation: estimation of cardiopulmonary function, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder
  • Anesthesiology: monitoring for depth of anesthesia
  • Sports and exercise: estimation of working out, estimation of training for fitness
  • Drug manufacture: the study of Chinese and western medicine
  • Health food and health care instruments: estimation of curative effect
