9. MAIN DISCUSION  SOMATIC ASPECT OF EMOTION This explain how emotions are related to the body, the causes stimulus and the emotional response. the central nervous system is involved in perception and interpretation of sensory stimuli, nerves conducts impulses to the brain which stimulates a particular emotional response. our emotional state both affect and is affected by our hormonal state. Hormone levels in our bloodstream will affect our emotional responses, while our emotional responses also trigger hormonal release.

10. Con… EXAMPLE If I perspire in a warm room, am likely to interpret the sweating as a response to the high temperature. However if I perspire in the presence of a hungry lion, am more likely to feel afraid rather than hot. On the other hand,if I don’t sweat when am confronted with a hungry lion, am more likely to feel less afraid than if I sweat profusely.

11.  EMOTIONS AND LEARNING Emotion can be learned, the importance of past experience in appraisal suggest that emotion can be learned, and the ease with which autonomic activity can be modified but classical condition indicating possible mechanism for this learning

12.  EMOTIONS AND DISEASES  Deep emotions if not controlled can lead to illness. Given the intimate association between emotions and physiological changes, together with which the physiological component in particular can be learned,we have the beginnings of a rational model for psychosomatic disorders. this is a much abused term which refers to those illnesses where the maintenance or term which refers to those illnesses where the maintenance or aetiology of physical pathology seems to be associated with emotional or psychological factors.

13.  If a person is exposed to an altering environment, or at least one in which appraisal changes, then according to the model outlined earlier, this person experiences changing emotions together with the physiological concomitants.if this physical changes are prolonged and intense enough, then illness may occur…

14. SUMMARY  Emotions are related to the body, it is the body which coordinates and bring about the emotional responses towards a particular stimuli. Strong emotions if not well monitored can bring about illness. emotions can be learned. However there are some emotions that cant be learned, for example love, it is a personal feeling, no one can be taught how to love.

15. CONCLUSION  Emotions are clearly complex, multi determined phenomena. They reflect more than any thing else, the interaction at the interface between psyche and soma. A close study of their determinant illuminates many areas of medicine since their effects are both pervasive and universal.

16. RECOMMENDATION  Generally, emotions can be influenced by environment which includes family members, school mates, fellow workers and the society. for example, if you grew up in an abusive and dysfunctional environment your abusers may have routinely attacked your psychological sense of self directly as a means of exerting power over you, one becomes defensive always by trying to defend him or her self.
