The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)**: - The ANS is a part of the peripheral nervous system that controls involuntary bodily functions. It regulates internal organs, blood vessels, smooth muscles, and glands. 2. **Identifying the Options**: - The question asks about the effects of the ANS. The options provided include: - Reflex Action - Sensory Organs - Internal Organs - None of these 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Reflex Action**: This is primarily controlled by the spinal cord and brainstem (medulla oblongata and midbrain), not the ANS. Thus, this option is incorrect. - **Sensory Organs**: These are primarily under the control of the central nervous system (CNS), which processes sensory information. Therefore, this option is also incorrect. - **Internal Organs**: The ANS directly regulates the function of internal organs such as the heart, lungs, and digestive system. This is the correct option. - **None of These**: Since we have identified that the ANS does affect internal organs, this option is incorrect. 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is that the Autonomic Nervous System affects **Internal Organs**. It has two divisions: the sympathetic nervous system, which prepares the body for stressful situations (increasing heart rate), and the parasympathetic nervous system, which conserves energy and promotes a state of calm (decreasing heart rate).
