Question

what is the function of the autonomic nervous system? conducts impulses from the cns to skeletal muscles promotes house - keeping functions during rest conducts impulses from the cns to cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and glands mobilizes body systems during activity

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a part of the peripheral nervous system. It controls involuntary bodily functions. Conducting impulses from the central nervous system (CNS) to cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and glands is its main function. The somatic nervous system conducts impulses to skeletal muscles. The parasympathetic division (a part of ANS) promotes house - keeping functions during rest and the sympathetic division (a part of ANS) mobilizes body systems during activity. But the overall function of ANS is related to innervating cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and glands.

Answer:

Conducts impulses from the CNS to cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and glands
