This volume describes the anatomy of the autonomic nervous system and its role in the regulation of blood pressure, body temperature, respiration, micturition, digestion and renal function. Additional chapters focus on the autonomic modulation of the neuroendocrine system, sexual function, and immunity. There is also a chapter on mummies and the autonomic nervous system. With these chapters, readers will gain extensive knowledge on the autonomic nervous system's anatomy, functional organization and neurochemistry, which is critical to care for patients with autonomic disorders and guide patient-oriented research. Provides an extensive reference on the autonomic nervous system and its crucial functions and dysfunction Discusses all aspects of autonomic physiology and pathology Outlines several physiological processes regulated by the autonomic nervous system, including thermoregulation, blood pressure, micturition, respiration, digestion and renal function Features chapters on the modulation of the neuroendocrine system, sexual function, immunity, and a new chapter on mummies and the autonomic nervous system INDICE: 1.
