Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 3 page discussion of the relationship that exists between the brain, emotions, and our body's muscles. Our brain, of course, controls most aspects of our physiology. It sends the electronic impulses that cause hormones and other chemical substances to the various components of our body. These, in turn, control such aspects of our lives as our emotions and even our muscular reflexes. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

The physiological relationship between the brain, emotions, and our bodys muscles is complex and multi-leveled. Our brain, of course, controls most aspects of our physiology. It sends
the electronic impulses that cause hormones and other chemical substances to the various components of our body. These, in turn, control such aspects of our lives as our emotions
and even our muscular reflexes. This relationship would take volumes of text to explain in its entirety but a brief look at just a few of the hormones that
are influential in our bodys physiology should be sufficient to provide an understanding of the complex relationship that can exist. Hormones of particular interest in this discussion are adrenaline and
serotonin. Serotonin is most often associated with a sense of well being and muscular calmness. Adrenaline, on the other hand, is more
often associated with emotions such as fright or anger and typically induces rather than calms muscular activity. Both are secreted by the adrenal medulla, an integral component of the
bodys endocrine system. The endocrine system, of course is comprised of a complex group of specialized cells, glands, and hormones which function in the release of hormones, those chemicals
which act as messengers between endocrine glands and various cells throughout the body (Hickman, Hickman, and Hickman, 1974). The adrenal medulla is important in that it contains chromaffin cells,
cells which secrete such catecholamine hormones as epinephrine (adrenaline), norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and a variety of other neuropeptides such as enkephalin. The
adrenal medulla is pivotal in maintaining homeostasis as well as in response to stress. These catacholamines are extremely important in controlling the way we act in times of stress
