-
• The autonomic nervous system controls non- conscious func.ons like breathing, heart beat, and diges.on.
-
• It can be divided into the sympathe.c nervous system (SNS) which excites and the parasympathe.c nervous system (PNS) which calms. (4)
-
• Combined, the SNS and PNS control heart rate variability, the change of .me between successive heart beats. (1)
-
• Using an ECG (electrocardiogram) we can non- invasively observe PNS ac.vity (HR and HRV).
