In this clip Ross gets yelled at by Rachel's dad after he found out the Rachel was pregnant and Ross was the father. I'm going to look at how Ross's Peripheral Nervous System reacted to being yelled at.
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is all the nerves outside of the central nervous system. So every nerve other than the ones in the brain and spinal cord. Examples are sensory receptors, muscles, and glands.
The PNS is composed of two components: the somatic nervous system, which enables voluntary control of skeletal system, and autonomic nervous system, which controls the glands and the muscles of the internal organs.
The autonomic nervous system serves two import functions: sympathetic nervous system, arouses and expends energy, and parasympathetic nervous system, calms the body and conserves its' energy.
Ross
- Somatic Nervous System-
- When Ross gets hot he tugs at his collar.
- Uses verbal movement as he tries to talk his way out of the situation by explaining his side of the story to Mona and Dr. Green.
- Uses intense facial movements because he is panicking and is unsure about what to do.
- Uses a lot of hand gestures because again he is panicking and that causes him to talk faster and use faster gestures.
- Autonomic Nervous System
- Sympathetic Nervous System-
- Accelerated heartbeat
- Raised blood pressure
- Cools body by sweating
- Parasympathetic Nervous System-
- Decreases heart rate
- Lowers blood pressure
- Ross's sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system work together to keep Ross's body at a steady internal state.
