Question 1

Biological Normal

Answer 1

-all behaviour and eustress occurs due to internal biological processes happening in the body
-e.g activation of specific parts of the brain, nervous system, target organs and release of specific neurotransmitters and hormones
-Cause is nature rather than nurture

Question 2

Biological Abnormal

Answer 2

-abnormal levels of stress (distress) viewed as a result of specific activations of these biological systems
-e.g activation of sympathetic ANS, activation of brain areas (hypothalamus and pituitary) target organs such as the adrenal medulla. The release of hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol

Question 3

Biological Aim

Answer 3

To modify stress the bio approach aims to modify these particular biological systems to bring them back into balance
-reduce activity in the ANS, hypothalamus and pituitary.
-Prevent adrenal medulla from releasing adrenaline and the adrenal cortex from releasing cortisol.

Question 4

Biological Return to Normal

Answer 4

Done by using drugs beta blockers
-have an antagonistic impact on the sympathetic ANS which will reduce its activity causing lower heart rate and blood pressure.
-reduce negative impact of stress on the body and prevent associated health problems resulting from continued activation of these bio systems in stress e.g hypertension and immunosuppression.
