Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The result of failure of autonomic nervous system on homeostasis.
Introduction:
Homeostasis refers to maintaining and balancing the internal environment of body even in presence of variable external environment. All the systems of the body work together to maintain homeostasis. Nervous system is one of such systems. It controls the actions of the body and is divided into central and peripheral nervous system. Peripheral nervous system consists of nerves that aid the central nervous system.
