Front 17

Limbic system

Back 17

includes the hypothalamus and amyglada which is though to be responsible for emotional processing; all the glands of this work in unison to maintain homeostasis

Front 18

Endocrine System

Back 18

consists of a series of glands located throughout the body that regulate metabolic functions/ consists of; glands, circulation, target organs, hormones

Front 19

vegatative level

Back 19

where the brain and the spine meet. consists of the fibers that make up the reticular activating system. Responsible for involuntary functions. consists of pons, medulla, oblongata

Front 20

stressor

Back 20

any real or imagined situation, circumstance or stimulous that is precieved to be a threat

Front 21

fight of flight response

Back 21

walter cannon's term-the instinctive physiological response preparing the body when confronted with a threat to either fight or flee-triggered by adrenaline

Front 22

Adrenal Gland

Back 22

the endocrine glands that are located on the top of each kidney that house and release several stress hormones including cortisol and catcholoamines

Front 23

Exogenous overreaction

Back 23

allergies

Front 24

Stress

Back 24

the experience of a precieved threat to one's mental, physical, or spirtual well being resulting in a from a series of physiological responses and adaptations

Front 25

corticosteroids

Back 25

stress hormones released by the adrenal cortex such as cortisol, cortisone, gluccorticoids, minnerlocorticoids. Which supresses the immune system

Front 26

Hypothalamus

Back 26

connects the mind and the body through neuropeptides. when a thought is precieved as a threat is secreated corticotropin releasing factor to the pituitary gland to activate fight or fligh response. activates; autonomic nervous system (para, sympathetic). secretes ACTH, influences the pituitary gland

Front 27

parasympathetic nervous system

Back 27

the branch of the CNS that specifically calms the body. activated by the hypothalamus. Releases ATCH to return the body to homeostasis

Front 28

Neuropeptides

Back 28

unique messenger hormones produced in the brain and other organs of the body that fit into the receptor sites (immune cells) of lymphocytes (tcells and bcells)

Front 29

Exogenous underreactive

Back 29

colds, flus

Front 30

Stress response

Back 30

the relase of epinephrine and norepinephrine to prepare various organ and tissues for the fight of flight response

Front 31

Immune System Related Disorders

Back 31

colds
flues
cancer
lupus
aids
arthritis
allergies

Front 32

autonomic nervous system

Back 32

consists of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems that are part of the CNS that requires no conscious thought, actions such as breathing and heart rate

Front 33

Sympathetic Nervous system

Back 33

the branch of the CNS that triggers the fight or flight response when the threat is present. Activated by the hypothalamus
Releases catecholamines:
Epinephrine
Norepinephrine

Social Readjustment Rating Scale

Back 39

an inventory of life events that may be precieved to be stressful used to determine one's level of stress

Front 40

Immune Dysregulation

Back 40

where various functions are supressed; now believed to be affected by emotional negativity

Front 41

Pert model

Back 41

links the nervous system with the immune system. Various cells in the immune system can synthesize neuropeptides just as the brain can. Also is believed that all neuropeptides are really one moelcule that undergoes change in the atomic level about by various emotional states of energy through forms
