The autonomic nervous system controls breathing, the heart, and digestion. That means you cannot consciously control these functions.

The digestive and respiratory systems are controlled by both the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems as are most body functions. The sympathetic system causes dilation (respiratory system) and constriction & increased activity (digestive system) and the parasympathetic system regulates constriction (respiratory system) and dilation (digestive system). Both are divisions of the autonomic nervous system.
