This document discusses emotions and the theories surrounding them. It defines emotions as an integrated mind-body response involving physiological arousal, behaviors, and conscious experience. Emotions originate in subcortical brain regions like the amygdala and are neurological reactions to stimuli. Feelings are sparked by emotions but are colored by experiences and thoughts. There are several theories that explore the relationships between arousal, behaviors, and conscious experience in emotions. The autonomic nervous system causes physiological changes during emotions.
