agression Flashcards
1
Q
Hierachical arrangement of neural control in agressive behaviour
A
neural circuits in brin stem, controlled by hypothalamus and amygdala.
elicited by stimulation of pediaqueductal gray matter
2
Q
HORMONAL CONTROL OF AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR
A
Serotoninergic neurons play inhibitory role in agression.
relation between testosterone. (in female progesterone)
3
Q
short term response to stress
A
inccrease in blood glcose, blood pressure, breathing rate, metabolic rate.
change in bloodflowpatterns. (increised alertness and decreased digestive and kidney ctivity
4
Q
Long term response to stress
A
minteralcorticoids: - increased blood volume and pressure - retention of sodium and water glucocorticoids: - transfer to glucose - immune system be supressed
5
Q
3 phases of general adaptation syndrome
in chronic stress
A
Alarm
Resistence
Exhaustion
6
Q
CHRONIC STRESS HAS DELETERIOUS EFFECTS
MEDIATED BY GLUCOCORTICOIDS
(what kinds of effects?)
A
DAMAGE TO MUSCLE TISSUE STEROID DIABETES GASTRIC (DUODENIC!) ULCERS INFERTILITY INHIBITION OF GROWTH INHIBITION OF INFLAMMATORY RESPONSES SUPPRESSION OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
