Joy is a feeling of great pleasure and happiness. On a scientific level, we feel joy in our neurotransmitters, which are tiny chemical "messenger" cells that transmit signals between neurons (nerves) and other bodily systems. They are responsible for processes and feelings in almost every aspect of the body, from blood flow to digestion. We feel joy because of the release of dopamine and serotonin, two types of composterters in the brain. Both of these chemicals are heavily associated with happiness.
When something you perceive as happy happens, your brain receives the signal to release these chemicals into your central nervous system, which consists of your brain and spinal cord. This then causes reactions in your circulatory system. Your circulatory system consists of your heart, veins, blood vessels, blood, and lymph. Your autonomic nervous system is the bodily system responsible for breathing, digestion, and dilation of the pupil. Fear, sadness, and other emotions can cause reactions in these parts of the body as well.
Dr. Samuel says, "When something joyous happens, the emotional and physical response occurs right away because all of these things are happening simultaneously in the body."
