One of the examples of the action of the autonomous nervous system is

  1. swallowing of food
  2. pupillary reflex
  3. peristalsis of the intestine
  4. knee-jerk response

Correct answer: peristalsis of the intestine

Solution

Peristalsis is the wave-like contraction of smooth muscle that moves food through the intestines, and it is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. The other choices involve skeletal muscle reflexes or mixed control, not a classic autonomic function.
