Application: Emotional Stimuli
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) forms part of the peripheral nervous system. It controls a number of involuntary actions such as heart rate, digestion, breathing, and perspiration. The ANS consists of the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the "fight or flight" response. It also includes the parasympathetic nervous system, which allows people to slow down and rest.
When individuals become emotionally aroused, the ANS activates and produces a number of biological and psychological symptoms.
For this Application Assignment, you explain responses to emotional stimuli.
