The part is known as the autonomic nervous system.

The nerve cells originate or receive impulses and impressions of various sorts, which are conveyed by them to the muscles, blood-vessels, and so on, by efferent nerves, or received by them through afferent nerves coming from the skin, organs of sense, joints, and other parts of the body. The autonomic nervous system is concerned mainly with the movement and other functions of the internal organs, secreting glands, and blood vessels, the activities of which proceed independently of the will.

Nervous diseases are some of the most difficult diseases in so far as their diagnosis and treatment are concerned. The brain and the spinal cord are enclosed in the skull and the spine, beyond the reach of direct examination. Since the nerves everywhere are deeply buried in the tissues, the nature of nervous diseases must be made out from the disturbances of the organs governed by the affected nerves
