ღWhen You're Afraidღ

Hey, check out guys~ It's October, it's Halloween or the correct name should be Hallowe'en.   
You should be afraid now.     
I think most of us have no idea what's all about Halloween, even me.
Since secondary school, I only know about a hollow pumpkin (please call him Jack O' Lantern), costume party, treating people and threating people... But why? I will reply you ~Dunno wor~     

Anyway, suppose you are afraid now after hearing Halloween!!!

Back to the topic, ever wonder what goes on in the split-second when you face with your worst fears?
Under such conditions, there are 3 parts in your brain is actually working out. Let see what it is.    

Sensory Cortex
Like a naughty boy with a fire alarm, it puts the body on red alert when the thalamus alerts & deciphers anything as a threat.

Amygdala
Faster than the speed of light, it lets us react instantly when a threat is perceived or when someone's about to steal your Teh Tarik.

Thalamus
If there's a pitcher, thalamus is the catcher of informantion captured by sensory stimulus especially when it's activated by a strange shape, scary sound or a giant ball of bills heading towards you.

When these happened to be in your fear conditions  
then you will start to develop these symptoms. (Please don't think that i'm fooling you)      

1. start to sweat buckets   
    Your heart will start to pump faster and harder, and with more heat generated, your body begins to sweat
    uncontrollably.

2. skin pales
    That's because your blood pressure begins to rise, and blood drains from capillaries near the skin's surface.

3. mouth starts to dry
    As all your blood is diverted into your vital organs, your saliva stops generating and your mouth will
    become parched and dry.

4. butterflies in the stomach
    Feeling a little queasy? No metamorphosis going on in there, but your stomach empties and your digestive
    system will stop.

5. tremble uncontrollably
    The more blood is pumped into your muscles, your body gets more glucose and your muscles quiver with
    energy. Thus, you tremble and your legs begin to shake.

6. hyperventilate
    Getting harder to breath? That's cause your heart is working overtime to pump out blood, contracting more
    forcefully than before.

7. wet pants
    The adrenaline is oxidized and converted into waste products, during that moment of fear, your bowels and
    bladder may empty.

8. face becomes flushed
    Blood vessels start dilating at the very first sign of danger, thus you start to look like Snow White with
    blusher-gone-overboard.

9. legs ready to run
    When we sense danger, our brain triggers adrenal glands to release adrenaline into blood 20 times faster. Our legs are becoming unsteady as our natural instinct is to RUN!    

Bingo~ Bingo~ Bingo~     






Good night~ Hope you don't have nightmare~
