Anurse is reviewing the structure and function of the neurologic system in preparation for a work placement on a neurologic unit? what statement most accurately describes an aspect of the autonomic nervous system?

The autonomic nervous spans the central and peripheral nervous systems

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) encompasses the central and peripheral nervous systems and is a complex set of neurons that control internal homeostasis without conscious intervention or voluntary control of the central nervous system. The cells of the ANS have nerves in all the viscera and influence all their activity, as well as mediate changes in the metabolic state of the body. ANS maintains blood pressure, regulates respiration rate, influences digestion, urination and modulates sexual arousal.
