Aspirin is a pharmaceutical drug often used to treat pain, fever, and inflammation. A drug is any substance (other than food that provides nutritional support) that, when inhaled, injected, smoked, consumed, absorbed via a patch on the skin, or dissolved under the tongue causes a physiological change in the body.
In a crisis, the sympathetic division of your autonomic nervous system (ANS) mobilizes your body for action, directing your adrenal glands to release the stress hormone epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline). To provide energy, your liver pours extra sugar into your bloodstream.
The ANS (Autonomic Nervous System) is a group of nerves that connect the major physiological control centres of the brain to practically all the bodyâs tissues and organs. The ANS can be separated into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. The Sympathetic nervous system is concerned with bodily mobilization and the expenditure of energy. It controls the commonly named âflight or fightâ response; that is, it prepares us for physical action to respond to emergency situations.
