Hormones and Mind
Besides the autonomic nervous system, the mind can affect physiology via the endocrine (hormone) system.
Hormones are chemicals produced by special organs and tissues in the body.
Each hormone regulates specific biological functions.
Hormones notify the body of changes outside and inside the body fat that must be responded to in order to maintain health.
Many hormones respond to changes in thoughts and feeling. For example, if the mind interprets a situation as threatening or frightening, regardless of whether the danger is real or imagined, adrenalin and several other hormones are released into the blood that make the body alert and ready for action.
The hormones bring about an increased heart rate and mobilize stored nutrients to supply energy for dealing with the danger.
