Discussion 3
REMEMBER: The 350 word is just the MINIMUM, you can go OVER that number and be fine.
The idea is mind blowing isn't it!? The idea that you have these tiny wires (neurons) crisscrossing your entire body making literally EVERYTHING possible!
1. Tell me something you can compare these neurons to in the big wide world. These wires running through our bodies surely must remind you of something in the world around us.
2. The medical scans! Medical Imaging and Psyc go hand in hand. Its because of these types of medical imaging that we have been able to organize the brain by its roles in life. Have you ever had any of these? Tell me about it! If not ask a family or friend!
So, we are now talking about the more complicated systems of neurons in your body called the the central and peripheral nervous systems.
The parts of the Peripheral Nervous System called the Autonomic Nervous System speak of the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous System. It&x27;s a quick read in the book.
3. Explain to me a (college safe) time in your life when you felt the Sympathetic nervous system kick in. Doesn&x27;t have to be a life or death situation, but a time that got your body in GO-MODE. Notice the symptoms of the activation.
4. Other side: What is your particular methods of boosting your parasympathetic nervous system? What is your surefire method to put your body in complete CHILL MODE.
