Answer:

The description regarding the central nervous system(CNS) control of the Autonomic nervous system (ANS) is correctly matched below.

Explanation:

The central nervous system(CNS) is composed of the brain (which consists of the hypothalamus, brainstem and cerebral cortex) and the spinal cord. The rest of the nervous tissues that is found throughout the body make up the peripheral nervous system which is further divided into somatic nervous system and autonomic nervous system (ANS).

Below is parts of the Central Nervous System(CNS) with the correct description of how it controls the autonomic nervous system (ANS):

1. Cerebral Cortex: This is the part of

--> Emotions can invoke autonomic responses

--> sexual thoughts or images can increase blood flow to the genitals.

2. Hypothalamus:

--> It activates the fight-or-flight response

--> it's the major control center of the ANS. it's the integrating center for thermoregulation

3. Brainstem:

--> it's the integrating centers for reflexes controlling heart rate and blood pressure

--> it's the integrating center for the pupillary reflex.

4. Spinal Cord:

--> it's the integrating center for urination, defecation, erection, and ejaculation reflexes.
