each other in this small part of the
brain, so placed as to respond instant
ly to every imaginable influence borne
to them by nerves from, for exampIe,
an ingrowing toe nail, or from those
brain areas CONCERNED in a thought of
shame or fear Thereupon the toe or
the cheek bushes or turns pale, ac-
cording to the order given. The vase
motor nerves order a rush of blood,
the vase inhibitory order its with
drawal.
When we are in state of repose
the nerves exert no special action and
the capillary blood vessels are neither
expanded nor contracted. but simply
allow the blood to flow through them
TO all parts of the body. But If, UNI
der some strong emotion, the brain he
brought to bear upon some organ the
vase motor center orders changes in
the blood supply instantly. If the
brain has received an impression
through the eye or ear which gives
rise in the intellectual centers-situat-
ed in the cerebrum or upper brain =
to feeling of anger or shame, then
the vase motor center is stirred AL
most unconsciously and it acts upon
the nerves running to the blood ves-
sells, especially to the minute capil-
laries in the skin, and the vessels are
distendcd, filling with blood.
This is the actual physical expla-
nation of the act of blushing, and I'M
der ordinary> circumstances this pro-
cess is always followed. But we know
that many persons do not blush, even
though angry or shocked. How is this
to be explained?
Once YOU have received the idea in
the cerebrum, and this has sent out
the impulse to the vase motor center,
the blush follows almost automatical-
ly. But the self contained or resolute
person receives the shock in the brain
and arrests the impulse at that point,
not allowing it to reach the Vaso-mo-
tor center, so no blush follows: 1t
seems to be possible to acquire great
self control, To control our emotion
and not allow the impulse to reach the
vaso-motor center.
The loss of the power of blushing is
explicable in another way. If at first
the modesty of man or woman is
shocked by hearing a vulgar tale he OF
she bushes. but after becoming
hardened" as we say. there is n
shock to the brain center. and OF
course no impulse goes out to the
nerves controlling the blood vessels.
When the face grows pale from
fright. or turns from red to pale. it IS
because the inhibitory nerves of the
vase motor system have contracted
the arterioles. thus diminishing the
amount of blood allowed to flow into
the capilaries.
1t has been noted that monkeys
flush with anger much as the human
being does, so blushing is not an ex-
clusively human characteristic. il
we would avoid blushing it can be It
tanned only by gaining complete
nerve-control, and this is to be at
tanned only after years of practice
