AB The  human  nervous  system  can  be  divided  into  two  major  functional  areas:  the  somatic  nervous  system  and  the  autonomic  nervous  system  (ANS).  The  somatic  division  is  concerned  primarily  with  voluntary  function—that  is,  control  of  the  skeletal  musculature.  The  ANS  is  responsible  for  controlling  bodily  functions  that  are  largely  involuntary,  or  automatic,  in  nature.  For  instance,  the  control  of  blood  pressure  (BP)  and  other  aspects  of  cardiovascular  function  are  under  the  influence  of  the  ANS.  This  system  also  controls  other  involuntary  functions  such  as  digestion,  elimination,  and  thermoregulation.
