What do you think the end of these nerves act at the muscular end? |

We can take up an example to see how certain involuntary function |
controlled by autonmous nervous system takes place in our body. A very |
evident observation is the reduction and expansion of the pupil of our eye. |

When we enter a dark room we cannot see anything immediately. Slowly |
we are able to see the things around us in the room. This is because of |
increase in diameter of pupil, which allows more light in. When we come |
out of the dark room into broad day light the diameter of the pupil decreases |
allowing less light to enter into the eyes. Both these functions occur under |
the influence of the autonomous nervous system. |
