Arousal is a physiological and psychological state involving the activation of the reticular activating system in the brain stem, the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system, leading to increased heart rate and blood pressure and a condition of alertness and readiness to respond. It is a crucial process in motivating certain behaviours, such as the fight or flight response and sexual activity (see Masters and Johnson's human sexual response cycle, w ...

Adrenal glands: Each kidney has an adrenal gland located above it. The adrenal is divided into an inner medulla and an outer cortex . The medulla synthesizes amine hormones. The cortex secrets steroid hormones. Stimulation of the cortex by the nervous system causes the "fight or flight" response.

AUTOGENIC TRAINING: Autogenic training, also known as Autogenics, is a system of simple mental (meditative) exercises which consciously focuses the creative power of the mind on relaxation and awareness.
 
It promotes deep relaxation, greater awareness, self-discovery, and self-regulation. It is designed to switch off the "fight or flight" response and invoke the rest, relaxation, and recreation system within the body.

For the James Bond character of the same name, click here Note: a quarrel may also mean an argument or fight. A quarrel is the technical term for a crossbow bolt, so called on account of the square shape its head (from the Latin quadrus -- "a square"). (Quarrels and arrows have different characteristics. Quarrels fall at the same rate, independent of the speed of flight. Arrows, in contrast, depend on gaining lift in flight, and hence have their centre of balance at a point about 9% of their l ...

An autonomic ganglion is a collection of neuron cell bodies within the autonomic nervous system. Autonomic ganglion - Sympathetic ganglia. Ganglia of the sympathetic nervous system deliver information to the body about stress and impending danger, and evokes the familiar fight-or-flight response when activated. Autonomic ganglion - Sympathetic chain ganglia. The sympathetic chain ganglia are located just anterior to the spinal cord. Preganglionic nerves from the central n ... Including:

• Autonomic ganglion - Sympathetic ganglia
• Autonomic ganglion - Sympathetic chain ganglia
• Autonomic ganglion - Collateral ganglia
• Autonomic ganglion - Parasympathetic ganglia
• Autonomic ganglion - Terminal ganglia

The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is one half of the autonomic nervous system; the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) is the other. Sympathetic nervous system - Function. The sympathetic nervous system activates what is often termed the "fight or flight response". This response is also known as sympathico-adrenal response of the body, as the pre-ganglionic sympathetic fibers that end in the adrenal medulla (but also all other sympathetic fibers) secrete acetylcholine, which activates t ...

Chromaffin cells are neuroendocrine cells found in the medulla of the adrenal gland and in other ganglia of the sympathetic nervous system. They are derived from the embryonic neural crest. These cells are so-named because they can be visualized by staining with chromium salts. Chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla are innervated by the splanchnic nerve and secrete adrenaline, noradrenaline, and enkephalin into the bloodstream. As such, they p ...

The Arleigh Burke class of guided missile destroyers, one of the destroyer classes of the United States Navy, are built around the Aegis combat system and the SPY-1D multi-function phased array radar. The first ship was commissioned on 4 July 1991. The Arleigh Burke class are among the largest and most powerful destroyers ever built. (The larger Ticonderoga class were constructed as destroyers, but were subsequently redesignated as cruisers.) According to Bath Iron Works promotional material, Arle ... Including:

Catecholamines are chemical compounds derived from the amino acid tyrosine that act as hormones or neurotransmitters. They are examples of phenethylamines. Catecholamines are soluble, and so they can circulate dissolved in blood. The most abundant catecholamines are epinephrine (adrenaline), norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and dopamine. They are produced mainly from the adrenal medulla and the postganglionic fibers of the sympathetic nervous system. Adrenaline acts as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and a ...

For the British anti-radiation missile, see ALARM. An alarm gives an audible or visual warning of a problem or condition. Alarms used for different purposes include: burglar alarms, designed to warn of intrusions; this is often a silent alarm: the police or guards are warned without indication to the burglar, which increases the chances of catching him or her. alarm clocks can produce an alarm at a given time safety alarms, which go off if a dangerous condition occurs. Common public ...
