Emotional aspects. Relationship between functions, components, and organ systems.

Emotional Function	Emotional Component	Physiological Function (Organism Systems)
Event evaluation	Cognitive component	Information processing (CNS)
System regulation	Neurophysiological component	Support (CNS, ANS, NES)
Action preparation and direction	Motivational component (action tendencies)	Executive (CNS)
Communication of reaction and behavioral intention	Motor expression component (facial and vocal expression)	Action (SNS)
Monitoring of internal state and organism-environment interaction	Subjective feeling component (emotional experience)	Monitoring (CNS)

CNS = central nervous system. ANS = autonomic nervous system. NES = neuroendocrine system. SNS = somatic nervous system.
