A system of the brain that is responsible, in part, for emotion in the stress response 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 The body's complex autonomic reaction when faced with a perceived threat Division of the nervous system that is composed of the brain and spinal chord Long-term physiological impact of chronic exposure to illness The dynamic physiological response on the part of the body to maintain a stable internal state in spite of the demands of the environment 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 The system responsible for the fight-or-flight response when triggered by the hypothalamus (faster heartbeat, increased blood pressure) 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 A gland that secretes insulin and glucagon in response to blood sugar levels One of two major components of the physical response to stress; made up of the central and peripheral The degree to which an individual (or community) understands the effects of stress A set of physiological responses that allow a person to deal with a stressor; second phase of Selye's GAS in which the body mobilizes its resources if the source of stress moves from acute to chronic Third stage in Selye's GAS; body experiences fatigue and immunocompromise because of the severity or duration of a stressor The non-specific mental or somatic result of any demand upon the body The central portion of the adrenal gland; secretes catecholamines (containing both adrenaline and noradrenaline) when the hypothalamus initiates the stress repsonse 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) The three-stage response of the body to stressors as identified by Selye: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion
