1. Excitement (arousal) is a vascular phenomenon involving the parasympathetic (cholinergic) nervous system. It results in erection, clitoral engorgement, genital and breast swelling, and lubrication caused by the neurotransmitters acetylcholine, dopamine, and nitric oxide. Plateau, orgasm, and resolution do not involve the release of the neurotransmitters acetylcholine, dopamine, and nitric oxide.
