Spontanious Human Cunbustion (SHC) is caused by an emotional reaction to circumstance. Emotion has
eight different faces that Robert Plutchik developed (1980) his theory shows eight primary human emotions: joy, acceptance,
fear, submission, sadness, disgust, anger, and anticipation and argued that all human emotions can be derived from these.
The term emotion is used to denote individual, subjective feelings which dictate moods. In psychology, emotion is considered
a response to stimuli that involves characteristic physiological changes: such as increase in the pulse rate, rise in body
temperature, greater or less activity of certain glands, changes in the rate of breathing and motivates the individual to
further activity. In understanding the eight different masks that emotion rears on its face, throw in some physical
reality to ones inner body and to take into account it's complexity and ability to produce chemicals and create an electronical
current on its own accord. These two in combination are what happens upon SHC when linked with blood and or plasma.
Psychologists Sylvan Tomkins (1963) and Paul Ekman (1982) have contended that "basic" emotions can be quantified because all
humans employ the same facial muscles when expressing a particular emotion. At this point, the chemistry of the body's
glands, chemicals, hormones, enzyme or coenzyme, compound or maybe some unknown substance. In the 1960s, the Schachter-Singer
theory pointed out that cognitive processes, not just physiological reactions, played a significant role in determining emotions.
Emotion creates many different aspects all at once. Different facial expressions created by different emotions starts
several physiological changes within the body that ignite the release of many chemicals, hormones, and energy simultaniously.
The process that is when SHC starts is called Phosphorylation, that is a chemical process in which a phosphate group
is added to an organic molecule. In living cells phosphorylation is associated with respiration, which takes place in the
cell's mitochondria, and photosynthesis, which takes place in the chloroplasts. The energy released during metabolic or photosynthetic
processes is captured in the energy-rich phosphate bonds of certain molecules, most commonly in the high-energy bonds of adenosine
triphosphate (ATP). In the process of oxidative phosphorylation ATP formation is associated with respiratory uptake of oxygen
This chemical is produced with the increase in pulse rate. Any of the eight masks could all increase a pulse rate, raise body
temperature, change breathing habits and make glands unstable. The net result in phosphorylation of ADP is the formation
of the high energy molecule ATP, which the cell can use as a kind of universal energy currency to power many important cell
processes. ATP is a coenzyme of vast importance in the transfer of chemical energy derived from biochemical oxidation.
Organic compound composed of adenine, the sugar ribose, and the three phosphate groups. If the chemical is broken down correctly
the end result would be using the energy released from the breakdown of fuel molecules, such as sugars and fats. Another
aspect of ATP is that it also acts as a neurotransmitter, receptors are widespread throughout the body. On its own it
is known to have effects in the arteries, intestines, lungs, and bladder. It is also often released in tandem with other
neurotransmitters, perhaps to add chemical stability. Adenosine monophosphate (AMP) is a possible product of the hydrolysis
of ATP, that can act as a secondary messenger for several hormones. AMP plays a role in the transcription of some genes.
Another change that is happening is that an hormone is being released and messages are being sent through the human body.
Adrenocorticotropic hormone is a polypeptide hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. This is done in turn
to make the hypothalamus produce a secretion. The thalamus is a routing station for all incoming sensory impulses except those
of smell, transmitting them to higher (cerebral) nerves centers. It also connects various brain centers with others.
Thus, the thalamus is a major integrative complex, enabling sensory stimuli to evoke appropriate physical reactions as well
as to affect emotions. Hypothalamus is an important supervisory center in the brain, rich in ganglia, nerve fibers, and synaptic
connections. It is composed of several sections called nuclei, each of which controls a specific function. The hypothalamus
regulates body temperature, blood pressure, heartbeat, metabolism of fats and carbohydrates, and sugar levels in the blood.
The role of the hypothalamus in awareness of pleasure and pain has been well established in the laboratory. It is thought
to be involved in the expression of emotions, such as fear and rage. Pituitary gland is a small oval endocrine gland
that lies at the base on the brain. It is sometimes called the master gland of the body because all the other endocrine
glands depend on its secretions for stimulation. The endocrine glands appear unique in that the hormones they produce
do not pass through tubes or ducts. The hormones are secreted directly into the internal environment, where they are
transmitted via the bloodstream or by diffusion and act at distant points in the body. Catecholamine is any of several
compounds occurring naturally in the body that serve as hormones or as neutrotransmitter in the sympathetic nervous system.
These catecholamines include such compounds as epinephrine or adrenaline, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Epinephrine
and norepinephrine are hormones that are secreted by the adrenal medulla. And norepinephrine is also secreted by some
nerve fibers. And is probably a chemical transmitter at nerve synapses. These substances ready the body to meet emergencies
such as cold, fatigue, and shock. The sympathetic nervous system functions in response to short-term stress: hence norepinephrine
and epinephrine increase the heart rate as well as blood pressure. By creating these chemicals, they increase both the
heart rate and blood pressure. Gases may act as electrolytes or high temperatures and low blood pressure, this again is linking
it back to emotion. In electrochemistry science is dealing with the relationship between electricity and chemical
change. Emotion is the key factor is SHC due to the fact that one facial reaction could release chemicals of high energy
charge that could make a human body increase in pulse rate, raise in body temperature, activity of certain glands, and change
in the rate of breathing. By passing a very high electric current through the blood or plasma a great heat is produced and
then simultaneously, an electromagnetic field is created, causing the plasma to withdraw from the walls of the arteries. The
contraction of plasma is the pitch effect, when pertaining to Selective burning. Blood and plasma come with their own
electric charge. The cells share a number of common properties, the use of adenosine triphosphate as means of transferring
energy for the cell's internal process and enclosed in a cell membrane, that controls the flow of material into and out of
a cell.
Brain consists of some 10 billion interconnected nerves cells and innumeral extensions. The interlacing of the
nerve fibers and their junctions allows a nerve impulse to follow any of a virtually unlimited number of pathways. SHC is
caused by an emotion that is mood altering. The release of a chemical in combination with the other physical changes
creates an electrical charge from one of the many neruotransmitters. This combination is leathel and causes a sort of
plasma reaction. The properties of plasma are distinct from those ordinary states of matter, and for this reason many scientists
consider plasma a forth state of matter. Some say when you go to a movie or to an amusement park you don't see people
combusting off of emotion trigged by that particular event. I think that the reason they are not is do to
the fact they know what they are getting themselves into. They anticapate there own reaction before it happens. They go willingly
to that event knowing what to expect. So therefore, the nanosecond of time that happens when you can see true emotion
is the deciding point for either fiction or reality. Fiction being mental thought. One can only assume what to expect but
the thought is there. In reality, the emotion is so real that you can't turn it off. Pre-thought of an experience is
a practice run, there fore the body is pre-programmed. I think the is formula for SHC is as follows: Emotion
x's 3 + Physical Change x's 5 + Chemical Reactions ( numerous) + Movement of plasma or blood via bloodstream = Energy or SHC
I believe that this happens by a spontanious circumstance that creates an emotion and that emotion is interperted
to be real which in turn starts the body of reacting in different ways. The body temparture rises, breathing intake
increases producing the bonds through the oxygen, like a fuel. As breathing pattern would increase the bonds would be
created on mass levels. That is assisting the progression of the process. With the other aspects of emotion moving at high
speed as well. Other chemicals are being released at the same time the body tempature is rising. The body is going throw a
hugh experience. The human body is known to have gases and the body has an electrical charge that charge is passed via
the bloodstream. Producing a reaction from within. The body is creating, producing and reacting on mass scales. Heat
is produced as well as energy, gases, chemicals all while the body is holding a charge. Maybe everything going off at once
is creating nuclear energy that is moving through the body that is actually SHC. I believe that a number of common links are
present. I can see how they all being intertwined to creates that spark that ignites the human body. Human spontanious
emotion is the key. A sudden freak moment that happens causing the body to melt from within.
