Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason for the autonomic tone being a significant part of ANS function.
Concept introduction:
The motor neurons of the autonomic nervous system maintain a base line activity, even if no stimulus is provided. This background level of activity of motor neurons is called autonomic tone.
