Polyvagal Theory: Autonomic Nervous System Branches (ANS) Worksheet

This worksheet highlights the three branches of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ventral vagal, sympathetic, and dorsal vagal systems are part of the autonomic nervous system, which regulates various physiological functions in the body. Each of these systems has specific regulating resources that contribute to their respective functions. These three systems work together to maintain homeostasis and regulate various physiological and behavioral responses in the body, depending on the perceived environmental and internal conditions.
