Autonomic Nervous System

The part of the nervous system that controls involuntary actions

Real World Example

Imagine your smartphone constantly managing background tasks like updating apps and syncing emails without you needing to do anything. This is similar to how the autonomic nervous system works by automatically controlling involuntary actions such as heart rate, digestion, and breathing. Just as your phone's operating system handles these tasks so you can focus on using your apps, the autonomic nervous system takes care of essential bodily functions without your conscious effort, allowing you to concentrate on other activities.
