Summary Introduction
To review:
The changes in the function of ANS may lead to the diagnoses of a condition called Horner’s syndrome.
Introduction:
Central nervous system refers to the region which includes spinal cord and brain. It is segregated into ANS (autonomous nervous system) and PNS (peripheral nervous system). This region basically integrates the information coming into the body from the external source and coordinates the activity of all the body parts.
