A system of the body that controls glandular responses to stress; responds more slowly than nervous system but the effects can persist for weeks The non-specific mental or somatic result of any demand upon the body One of two major components of the physical response to stress; made up of the central and peripheral The system responsible for the fight-or-flight response when triggered by the hypothalamus (faster heartbeat, increased blood pressure) The outer portion of the adrenal gland; at times of stress supplies hormones to the body that provide energy and increase blood pressure, but that can adversely affect the body's ability to resist and recover from disease A portion of the brain that initiates the stress response in both the nervous system and the endocrine system A gland that secretes insulin and glucagon in response to blood sugar levels The degree to which an individual (or community) understands the effects of stress Substances released by the adrenal glands upon stimulation form the sympathetic division when one is under stress Model that examines the interaction between the environment and heredity, often referred to as "nature versus nurture"; model proposes that predisposing factors in an individual may determine whether or not a physical effect is experienced in the presence of stressful events An important gland in the stress response because it produces thyroxine, which increases blood pressure and respiration rate, and affects mental processes The body's complex autonomic reaction when faced with a perceived threat Initial phase of Selye's GAS in which the body mobilizes its defences against a stressor The central portion of the adrenal gland; secretes catecholamines (containing both adrenaline and noradrenaline) when the hypothalamus initiates the stress repsonse Component of the autonomic system that re-establishes homeostasis in the system and promotes the reconstructive process following a stressful experience A positive, yet stressful, experience Division of the nervous system that is composed of the brain and spinal chord A gland in the brain described as the "master" gland because it controls other glands through the hormones it secretes; most of these hormones have an indirect impact on stress Division of the nervous system that is made up of the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system (further divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic) Third stage in Selye's GAS; body experiences fatigue and immunocompromise because of the severity or duration of a stressor Health problems that are the result of long-term neurological and hormonal changes caused by ongoing stress The dynamic physiological response on the part of the body to maintain a stable internal state in spite of the demands of the environment The three-stage response of the body to stressors as identified by Selye: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion
