A gland that secretes insulin and glucagon in response to blood sugar levels Component of the autonomic system that re-establishes homeostasis in the system and promotes the reconstructive process following a stressful experience 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 Initial phase of Selye's GAS in which the body mobilizes its defences against a stressor Complex system running through the middle of the brain stem that serves as a communication network to filter messages between the brain and the body The non-specific mental or somatic result of any demand upon the body
