True. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) receives input from visceral sensory neurons. These sensory neurons detect and relay information from the internal organs (viscera) to the ANS. This input helps the ANS regulate involuntary processes such as heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate, allowing the body to maintain homeostasis and respond to changes in the internal environment.
