Bodily responses
Bodily responses refer to the physical reactions our bodies have to different stimuli, often driven by the nervous and endocrine systems. These responses can include changes like increased heart rate, sweating, or muscle tension, and are influenced by emotions, stress, or environmental factors. For example, when we encounter something frightening, our body might prepare for "fight or flight" by releasing adrenaline, which triggers these physical changes. Understanding bodily responses helps us recognize how emotions and situations can impact our health and well-being.
