Death
- the Nervous System
- CNS
- PNS
- Somatic nervous
system (skeletal
muscle)
- Autonomic nervous
system (cardiac and
smooth muscle
- Sympathetic
(fight or flight)
- parasympathetic
(resting)
- requires neurons synapse
- forming synaptic cleft
- works by neurotransmitters
- both
- Acetylcholine
- Nor epinephrine
- Small-molecule, rapid acting
transmitter. Synthesized in
pre-synaptic terminal. Mostly
excitatory except in heart.

- Discharge
- Medically induced coma
- deep state of
unconsciousness, the
brain is able to rest and
swelling is more likely to
decrease. When swelling is
relieved, pressure on the
brain also reduces,
hopefully preventing some
or all brain damage from
occurring.

- marked by
increased stress
and anxiety
following
exposure to a
traumatic or
