autonomic dysregulation
|
increased sensitivity to precieved threats resulting from heightened neural responses speeding up the metabolic rate of one or more organs

|
Central Nervous System
|
consists of the brain and spinal column and the perphial nervous system; broken into three different levels; vegtative, limbic, Neocortical
|
|
Acetylcholine (ACTH)
|
a chemical substance released by the parasypathetic nervous system to help the body return to homeostatsis fomr the stress response
|
|
Gerber Model
|
states that the mind consists of energy surronding and permeating the body. Disease, then is disturbance in the human energy field, in which cascades through the human engery levels of the subtle energy
|
|
subtle energy
|
a series of layers of engery that surrond the body; thought to be associated with layers of consciousnesss consistuting the human energy field
|
|
reticular activating system
|
the neural fibers that link the brain to the spinal column
|
|
Progressive muscular relaxation
|
a relaxation technique, tensing and then relaxing the body's muscle groups in a pregressive fashion to decrease muscle tension
|
|
Limbic system
|
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
|
|
Endocrine System
|
consists of a series of glands located throughout the body that regulate metabolic functions/ consists of; glands, circulation, target organs, hormones
|
|
vegatative level
|
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
|
|
stressor
|
any real or imagined situation, circumstance or stimulous that is precieved to be a threat
|
|
fight of flight response
|
walter cannon's term-the instinctive physiological response preparing the body when confronted with a threat to either fight or flee-triggered by adrenaline
|
|
Adrenal Gland
|
the endocrine glands that are located on the top of each kidney that house and release several stress hormones including cortisol and catcholoamines
|
|
Exogenous overreaction
|
allergies
|
|
Stress
|
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
|
|
corticosteroids
|
stress hormones released by the adrenal cortex such as cortisol, cortisone, gluccorticoids, minnerlocorticoids. Which supresses the immune system
|
|
Hypothalamus
|
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
|
|
parasympathetic nervous system
|
the branch of the CNS that specifically calms the body. activated by the hypothalamus. Releases ATCH to return the body to homeostasis
|
|
Neuropeptides
|
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)
|
|
Exogenous underreactive
|
colds, flus
|
|
Stress response
|
the relase of epinephrine and norepinephrine to prepare various organ and tissues for the fight of flight response
|
|

|
autonomic nervous system
|
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
|
|
