Autonomic Nervous System

Artwork providing an overview of the parasympathetic and sympathetic subsystems of the autonomic nervous system.

The autonomic nervous system is responsible for regulating involuntary bodily functions such as heart rate, digestion, respiration, and blood pressure. It consists of two divisions, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, which work together to maintain homeostasis in the body. Clearly visualised on this ANS artwork, is how the sympathetic division is associated with the body’s “fight or flight” response, while the parasympathetic division is responsible for promoting relaxation and restoring the body to a state of rest.

The use of icons for organs clearly helps illustrate the key functions of the autonomic nervous system. A strong and impactful graphic will boost patient understanding and the split view of the human body of organ/nerves is the key element that adds focus to the important message of interconnectivity.
