Bodily changes in pain, hunger, fear, and rage : $b an account of recent researches into the function of emotional excitement
Cannon, Walter B. (Walter Bradford)
Emotions; Mental health; Mind and body
Adrenal glands: nerve supply of, 37;
stimulated in emotion, 52-59, 62-63;
stimulated in pain, 59-62, 63;
in relation to blood sugar, 77;
removal of, causes muscular weakness, 81;
secretion of, improves contraction of fatigued muscle, 92;
variations in adrenin content of, 171;
latent period of, when splanchnics stimulated, 188;
amount of secretion from, when splanchnics stimulated, 198;
fatigue of, 199;
stimulated by asphyxia, 206-208.
Adrenin: secreted by adrenal glands, 36;
action of, identical with sympathetic impulses, 37, 64;
secretion of, by splanchnic stimulation, 41-43;
secreted in emotional excitement, 44, 52-59;
method of testing for, in blood, 47-50;
secreted in emotion, 52-59, 62-63;
disappearance of, from blood, 58;
secreted in pain, 59-62, 63;
effects of, when injected into body, 64-65;
effect of, on distribution of blood in the body, 107;
quickly restores fatigued muscle to normal irritability, 119-123;
specific in its restorative action, 124-128;
as an antidote to muscular metabolites, 129;
restores fatigued denervated muscle to normal irritability,
130;
point of action of, in muscle, 128-133;
antagonistic to curare, 132;
induces rapid coagulation of blood, 136, 147 ff.;
not the direct cause of rapid coagulation, 156-158;
fails to shorten coagulation time in absence of intestines and
liver, 157-158;
variable amount of, in adrenal glands, 171;
emergency functions of, 185 ff.;
utility of, in bettering the contraction of fatigued muscle,
194-195;
not a check to use of sugar in the body, 197, 199;
amount of, secreted when splanchnics stimulated, 198;
a condition for increase of blood sugar, 199;
stimulates the heart, 191, 201;
dilates the bronchioles, 204;
secretion of, increased in asphyxia, 206-208.
Amyl nitrite: effect of, on contraction of fatigued muscle, 126.
Anger: associated with action, 188;
energizing influence of, 216.
Antagonisms: autonomic, 34;
in relation to emotions, 38;
between cranial and sympathetic divisions, 268-270;
between sacral and sympathetic divisions, 270-272.
Appetite: compared with hunger, 233, 235;
operation of, after section of vagus and splanchnic nerves,
240.
Arterial blood pressure: increased in excitement, 95;
artificial methods of increasing, 97;
influence of different heights of, on fatigue, 97-102;
influence of increase of, on fatigue, 97-102;
influence of decrease of, on fatigue, 102-104;
the “critical region” in decreasing, 104;
explanation of effects on fatigued muscle, of varying, 104-106;
value of increased, in pain and emotion, 106.
Arteries: innervation of, 26.
Asphyxia: increases adrenal secretion, 206-208;
increases sugar in blood, 209.
Athletes: glycosuria of, after games, 75.
