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
Sacral autonomic division: functions of, in mechanisms for
emptying, 32-34;
activities of, suppressed by activities of sympathetic division,
270-272.
Saliva: psychic secretion of, 6;
importance of, for taste, 6;
flow of, inhibited by excitement, 9.
Salivary glands: innervation of, by cranial autonomic, 31.
“Second wind”: explanation of, 210.
Sex: instinct of, suppressed by fear and anger, 271.
“Sham feeding,” 5.
Splanchnic nerves: stimulation of, causes adrenal secretion,
41-43;
method of stimulating, 87-88;
stimulation of, improves contraction of fatigued muscle, 89;
stimulation of, hastens coagulation of blood, 162-167,
but not in absence of adrenal glands, 167-171;
severance of, stops rapid coagulation following excitement,
180-182;
eating after severance of, 240.
Sports: relation of excitement and power in, 219-221, 296;
as physical substitutes for warfare, 297-301;
moral values of, 300.
Stomach: psychic tonus of, 13;
contractions of, inhibited by excitement, 14-15, 17,
and by pain, 19;
innervated by sympathetic neurones, 27,
and by cranial autonomic, 31;
reference of hunger sensation to, 245-247;
emptiness of, not the cause of hunger, 248;
contractions of, when empty, 251-253;
method of recording contractions of, 255-256;
contractions of, when empty, associated with hunger sensations,
256-259;
function of contractions of empty, 263-264.
Strength: feats of, related to great emotion, 217-218, 229.
Sugar: in blood, 66, 73;
in urine, 69-76;
relation of adrenal glands to, in blood, 77;
increase of, in blood, does not hasten clotting, 159, 170;
utility of, when increased in blood, 188-193;
a source of muscular energy, 191-193;
a means of increasing muscular efficiency, 192-193;
use of, in body, not checked by adrenin, 197-199.
Swallowing: inhibits hunger sensation, 254.
Sweating: value of, in emotion and pain, 203.
“Sympathetic” autonomic division: extensive distribution of
neurones of, 26;
arranged for diffuse action, 28;
antagonistic to cranial and sacral divisions, 34-36;
active in pain and strong emotion, 36;
emotions expressed in, opposed to those expressed in cranial
and sacral divisions, 268-272;
dominance of, temporary, 273.
Threshold stimulus: as measure of irritability, 111;
method of determining, 111-114;
increased in fatigue, 114-117, 120;
when increased, slowly restored by rest, 117-118,
and quickly restored by adrenin, 119-123.
Trial by battle: feats of endurance in, 226.
Vagus nerves: severance of, does not abolish appetite, 240-241,
and does not abolish hunger contractions of the stomach, 261.
Viscera: similar changes in, in various strong emotions, 275-279;
changes in, not distinctive for emotions, 280-281.
Vomiting: in consequence of pain, 19.
