Q
SANS
A
“Fight or Flight”, an increase of alertness/vigilance, increase heart rate, increase temperature, decrease gut glow
7
Q
PANS
A
‘Rest and digest”, increase salivation, increase digestion, decrease blood sugar
8
Q
Glial cells
A
Support cells or what are often referred to as nurse cells, support neurons physically by holding them in place,
provide nutrients, repair neurons in the PNS, insulate neurons so they can better transmit signals
