Autonomic Nervous System
This system is associated with the involuntary control of body movements and has two
subdivisions:
•Sympathetic
it is activated when the body is in a dynamic role or stress. (e.g., increased heart rate and
breathing, dilation of pupil, sweating, etc.)
•Parasympathetic
it maintains body functions and restores the body to normal or relaxed mode.
•Regulate and balance the working of organs, tissues, and cells. The endocrine system
influences how your heart beats, how your bones and tissues develop, and even your capacity
to have a baby.
•It plays an essential role in the occurrence of disorders such as diabetes, thyroid disease,
growth disorders, and/or sexual dysfunction.
•Both men and women produce hormones in the same areas with one exception, the
reproductive glands. Additional male hormones are produced in the testes while female
hormones are produced in the ovaries.
•Some hormones have short-term effects while other hormones have long-term effects such as
those that control our growth and the changes at the onset of puberty.
•During puberty, there are many hormonal changes that happen in your body. One moment
you laugh, and then suddenly you feel like crying. Sudden mood swings are relatively caused by
the increasing amount of hormones in the body at this stage. It is therefore important to
maintain a positive outlook in life and remember that these changes are only temporary and
will stabilize with time.
•Hormones act in very small amounts. If the organ and hormones do not produce the regulated
amount of chemicals to your body, it may result in an abnormality of your body. This condition
is called hormonal imbalance. An increase or decrease in its amount may have a significant
•For most living creatures, reproduction is basically a normal process controlled by hormones.
Even though human reproduction is also controlled by hormones, the process is rather more
complicated. Unlike other organisms such as plants and animals, you can make decisions about
reproduction. What influence these decisions are your values, emotions, expectations, and
goals. However, like any other living things, humans depend on reproduction for the survival of
the species. If people stop to reproduce, the human species would become extinct.
