True
Within the brain, the autonomic nervous system is regulated by the hypothalamus. Hypothalamus is responsible for control of the certain metabolic activities. It synthesizes and secretes few neurohormones which in turn control other metabolic activities. The autonomic nervous system is a control system that acts largely unconsciously and regulates bodily functions such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination, and sexual arousal.
