I did ask a medic friend of mine and he couldn't answer this HPL teaser.
Just having a rant...

Aka the 'involuntary' nervous system, responsible for control of heart beat, sweating, salivation etc. In humans it's possible to bring parts of it under conscious control... with training! But under normal circumstances it IS self-regulating <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
Erm, sorry, was this not a serious question?!

Your medic friend must be fairly junior
then as the Autonomic Nervous System is an
important BASIC element in medical education.
e.g Controls the heart rate
It crops up early in physiology anatomy and
pharmacology !!!!
Which medical school is he at ?
