Background The stress response in the body triggered by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) contains two different chemicals – neurotransmitters and hormones. Neurotransmitters‚ specifically norepinephrine (NE)‚ are released into the postganglionic synapses of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) during flight or fight response. NE carries out its effects on a target cell by binding to and activating adrenergic receptors. NE is usually eliminated through the reuptake into presynaptic cells and enzymes

Description This course is designed to expose you to the underlying physiological mechanisms of behavior. Physiological psychology is a complex but fascinating field of study. It explores the relationship between our biological systems and behavior. Structure and function of the nervous system from the neuron to the brain‚ as well as the interrelationships between the brain and such behaviors as eating‚ sleeping‚ learning‚ memory‚ emotion‚ and mental disorders will be discussed using examples from the behavior

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) consists of three main anatomical divisions: sympathetic‚ parasympathetic and enteric nervous systems. The sympathetic (SNS) and parasympathetic (PNS) systems provide a link between the central nervous system and peripheral organs. The sympathetic nervous system originates in the spinal cord. Specifically‚ the cell bodies of the first neuron (the preganglionic neuron) are located in the thoracic and lumbar spinal cord. Axons from these neurons project to a
