Step-by-step explanation:

The autonomic nervous system controls internal body processes such as the following:

Blood pressure

Heart and breathing rates

Body temperature

Digestion

Metabolism (thus affecting body weight)

The balance of water and electrolytes (such as sodium and calcium)

The production of body fluids (saliva, sweat, and tears)

Urination

Defecation

Sexual response
