Autonomic Nervous System
The autonomic nervous system is more of an internal system, connecting the central nervous system to the endocrine glands, the muscles controlling the heart, and the primarily involuntary smooth muscles controlling the other internal organs, such as the stomach, intestines, liver, and lungs. The autonomic nervous system is very important in emotion.
The autonomic nervous system is further divided into two branches: the sympathetic nervous system, which is more active in emergencies, and the parasympathetic nervous system, which is more active under normal circumstances.

Our nervous system is divided into two parts: the peripheral nervous system, which receives messages from the sense organs and carries messages to the muscles and glands, and the central nervous system, which interprets and stress messages from the sense organs, decides what behaviors to exhibit, and sends appropriate messages for responding to the muscles and glands. Most of the behaviors involved in the above scenes are accomplished through the working of the central nervous system, which is composed of the brain and the spinal cord.
Thanks to the part of your brain that controls muscle coordination, the cerebellum, you are able to sit.

Somatic Nervous System
The somatic nervous system might be regarded as “external” since it involves the sense organs and the skeletal muscles, both located close to the outside surface of the body. The sensory division of the somatic nervous system carries messages from the sense organs, whereas the motor division relays information that directs primarily the voluntary movements of the skeletal muscles.

An awkward interview
Christina Ricci was on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno to promote Speed Racer and she was visibly nervous and kind of blathering on at some points. Toward the end of the interview she warmed up when she was talking about her physical preparation for the role, but you can tell she’s not used to doing talk shows and that it was difficult for her. The interview was very awkward and I felt kind of sorry for her watching it.

A good friend recently admitted she gets nervous and clammy whenever her boss schedules a meeting with her, which is quite often. She's never been given a bad review or stern talking to, but there's something about being called into a one-on-one that makes her panic.
When I asked her why she couldn't explain her fears, except that, like most SavvySugar readers, the recession and layoffs at her company have left her particularly uneasy and chipped away at her confidence.
