The Autonomic Nervous System

The autonomic nervous system controls specific body processes, such as circulation of blood, digestion, breathing, urination, heartbeat, etc. The autonomic nervous system is named so, because it works autonomously, i.e., without a person’s conscious effort.

The primary function of the autonomic nervous system is homeostasis. Apart from maintaining the body’s internal environment, it is also involved in controlling and maintaining the following life processes:

Digestion

Metabolism

Urination

Defecation

Blood pressure

Sexual response

Body temperature

Heartbeat

Breathing rate

Fluid balance

There are two types of autonomic nervous system:

Sympathetic autonomic nervous system

Parasympathetic autonomic nervous system

Let's play a word game I said to him. Say anything that comes to mind.

Let's play a word game I said to him. Say anything that comes to mind.

I said hot. He said cold

I said love. He said hate
He said fire. I said ice

I said compete. He said "I don't know what to say.
What is the opposite?"
I said cooperate or collaborate.
He said all I could think of was noncompete or not compete.

Thank you, I said, you just enlightened me as to how
people think. This explains why when one person says something, the
other person thinks of the opposite.

I said Did you know what my favorite subject was in school?
He didn't answer. English. I made
straight A's in it and I am still learning this language. I don't think
I will learn all of the words in my lifetime. It's an ongoing process.

He said, Yes people think in opposites like left right.

I taught my grandson this way, using opposite words/contrasts.
Side to side. Up down. Light dark. Hot cold.
Forward/back. (Push it forward, pull it back when he pushed the
2 wheeler dolly on the patio when he was a year old.)
I taught both of my sons this way.
This is probably how my mom, dad and grandma and grandpa taught me
as well as society taught me how to learn.

I told him I write down words all of the time. Lists of things.
Clusters. Snowball thinking clusters. I will make a new post of
that type of thinking.  Negative, positive, neutral.
