The amygdala then signals the hypothalamus releasing the neurotransmitter chemical noradrenaline which activates the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system‚ part of the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system is divided into two parts‚ the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system is responsible for voluntary movement by carrying information from the

The nervous system as a whole includes the Central Nervous System‚ consisting of brain and spinal cord‚ and the Peripheral Nervous System‚ whose nerve fibres connect all parts of the body with the central nervous system. The Peripheral Nervous System is further subdivided into two branches‚ the Somatic Nervous system and the Autonomic Nervous System. All these nerves are outside

the central nervous system and are the creators of the messages sent from neurons to neurons in the body. Meanwhile‚ the peripheral nervous system is made up of the somatic division. Anything from moving your hand to walking is controlled through the somatic division because the somatic division controls voluntary movement. The somatic division also relays information to and from the sense organs. The sense organs consist of the five senses‚ sight‚ smell‚ touch‚ hearing and taste. Sight is contributed

in visceral organs by way of the autonomic nervous system as well as in the skeletal muscles via the somatic nervous system (Pinel‚ 2009). These changes are then responsible for emotion in the brain (Pinel‚ 2009). Cannon and Bard suggested emotion to be the response of two independent excitatory effects (Pinel‚ 2009). Under their theory emotional stimuli trigger feelings of emotion in both the brain and the expression of such emotion in the autonomic and somatic nervous systems (Pinel‚ 2009). The

connecting the central nervous system to the rest of the body. It has two subdivisions: somatic nervous system and autonomic nervous system. Somatic nervous system controls skeletal muscles and interacts with the external environment. An example is walking through a park. You are using your motor nerves‚ which relay messages from the central nervous system‚ to all the skeletal muscles of your body. The autonomic nervous system regulates the body’s internal environment‚ which consists of organs‚ glands
