Selye's Three-stage (alarm, resistance, exhaustion) reaction to chronic stress.

Front 32

The GAS occurs in three phases. What are they? And how are they activated?

Back 32

1. Alarm, Resistance, and exhaustion

2. They are activated by efforts to adapt to any stressor, both physical or psychological

Front 33

Oxytocin is released during stres in both men and women. In females, the higher levels of estrogen affect Oxycontin in what ways? And how do they collaborate to affect personality.

Back 35

The estrogen enhances the affects of Oxycontin, which results in more calming and nurturing feelings.

Front 36

What hormone in males reduces the effects of Oxytocin

Back 36

Front 37

We have two major brain-body pathways for dealing with stress. What are they?

Back 37

1. sympatho-adreno-medullary (SAM) system

2. Hypothalmic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) axis

Front 38

What is the SAM (Sympatho- adreno -medullary) system

Back 38

The body's initial, rapid-acting stress response, involving the sympathetic nervous system and the adrenal medulla

* Stressors trigger a cascade of effects that begin when the brain's hypothalamus activates the sympathetic nervous system

Front 39

What is the HPA (Hypothalamic- pituitary- adrenocortical) axis

Back 39

The body's delayed stress response, involving the hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal cortex

Front 40

Describe how the SAM system works

Back 40

1. Stressors trigger a cascade of effects that begin when the brain's hypothalamus activates the sympathetic nervous system.

2. The medulla of the adrenal glands is stimulated by the sympathetic nervous system

3. The adrenal than secrets Catecholamines ( esp. Norepinephrine and epinephrine) which activate bodily changes necessary for Fight or Flight

Front 41

Describe how the HPA system works

Back 41

1. The hypothalamus sends signals to the pituitary gland

2. The cortex of the adrenal glands is stimulated by the sent signals and thus Corticosteroids are secreted.

3. The hormones released activate the body's energy supplies and help fight inflammation.

* This system is offten regarded as a "more direct communication between the brain the endocrine system"

Front 42

True or Flase: A combination of the SAM system and the HPA axis allows us to effectively cope with life-threatening stressors.

Back 42

True nigga

Front 43

True or False: Researches often regard Cortisol as the key " stress hormone"

True my nigga

Front 44

What are two key duties attributed to cortisol

Back 45

1. Alarm reaction

2. Stage of resistance

3. Stage of exhaustion

Front 46

The following ten terms are to be arranged in their respective locations:

Corticosteroids, Adrenal cortex, Catecholamines, Fight or Flight, Adrenal Medulla, Endocrine System, Cortisol, Norephinephrine, Epinephrine, Pituitary.

Front 47

True or False: The SAM system provides an initial, rapid acting stress response thanks to cooperation between the sympathetic nervous system and the adrenal medulla.

Back 47

True

Front 48

True or False: The HPA Axis responds more slowly but lasts longer. It also helps restore the body to its baseline state: Homeostasis.

Back 48

True

Front 49

______________ is associated with several disorders, including asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and fibromyalgia. It is an under aroused state where the glands become exhausted form the demands of chronic stress.

Front 50
