Learning Goals
Students will learn through lively discussions, activities, and hands on practice how each of the following systems react to the fight or flight response: The Muscular System, the Skeletal System, the Nervous System, the Cardiovascular System, the Respiratory System, the Endocrine System, and the Digestive System.  

By the end of class students will also know how to take their own pulse and respiratory rate as well as how to use diaphragmatic breathing to reverse the fight or flight response.
