Answer:

  • Subdivision of the peripheral nervous system
  • Controls smooth and cardiac muscle
  • Effectors are under involuntary control

Explanation:

The Autonomic nervous system is a subdivision of the Peripheral nervous system and it is in charge of the involuntary processes in the body such as blood pressure, respiration and the heart rate. As such, its effectors are under involuntary control.
