autonomic

Examples of autonomic in the following topics:

• Introduction to the Nervous System

  • The PNS can be further subdivided into the autonomic nervous system and the somatic nervous system.
  • The autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary actions such as internal-organ function and blood-vessel movement.
  • The autonomic nervous system is made of two components, which work in opposition to one another: the sympathetic nervous system, responsible for the body's "fight-or-flight" response to danger, and the parasympathetic nervous system, which calms the body back down.

• Biology of Emotion

  • The limbic system, autonomic nervous system, and reticular activating system interact in the processing of emotion.
  • The limbic system, autonomic nervous system, and reticular activating system all interact to assist the body in experiencing and processing emotions.
  • It has connections with the hypothalamus and various areas of the brainstem and regulates the activity of the autonomic nervous and endocrine systems (Pessoa, 2010).
  • The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is part of the peripheral nervous system in humans.

• The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)

  • The PNS can also be divided into two separate systems: the autonomic nervous system and the somatic nervous system.
  • The autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary and unconscious actions, such as internal-organ function, breathing, digestion, and heartbeat.
  • This is an autonomic response that occurs in animals and humans; it is a survival mechanism thought to be related to playing dead when attacked by a predator.

• Dissociation

  • Dissociative disorders are typically experienced as startling, autonomous intrusions into a person's usual ways of responding or functioning.

• Defining Emotion

  • The autonomic nervous system (ANS) and reticular activating system (RAS) also play an important role in the experiencing and processing of emotions.

• Development of the Human Brain

  • It includes the cerebellum, reticular formation, and brain stem, which are responsible for some of the most basic autonomic functions of life, such as breathing and movement.

• Hypnosis

  • The individual in a dissociated state is likely to respond with autonomic, reflexive behaviors.

• Lower-Level Structures

  • The shark brain diverged on the evolutionary tree from the human brain, but both still have the "old" structures of the hindbrain and midbrain dedicated to autonomic bodily processes.

• The Endocrine System and Hunger

  • It regulates body temperature and some metabolic processes, and governs the autonomic nervous system.

• Socioemotional Development in Adolescence

  • Adolescents must explore, test limits, become autonomous, and commit to an identity, or sense of self.
