examples of responses to emotional stress
anxiety, depression, irritability, fatigue, impulsiveness
26
the nervous system consists of the ___, ____, and ______.
brain, spinal cord and nerves
27
define the automatic nervous system
the branch of the nervous system that contains the basic body process, both sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions
28
define the sympathetic division
the division of the automatic nervous system that reacts to danger or other challenges by accelerating body processes neurotransmitters- norepinephrine
29
define the parasympathetic division
the division of the automatic nervous system that moderates the excitatory effect of the sympathetic division by slowing things down
30
what two systems control the stress response?
nervous system and the endocrine system
31
define the endocrine system
it consists of glands, tissue, and cells that secrete hormones into the bloodstream and influences metabolism and body processess
32
what are the key chemical messengers or hormones involved in the endocrine system?
norepinephrine, epinephrine, cortisol, and endorphins
33
define norepinephrine
a neurotransmitter released by the sympathetic division to increase body functions, increases attention, awareness, and alertness
34
define epinephrine
a hormone secreted by the inner core of the adrenal gland also known as adrenalin, also increases attention, awareness, and alertness
35
define cortisol
a steroid hormone secreted by the outer layer of the adrenal gland
36
define endorphines
brain secretions that have pain-inhibiting effects, natural opiates
37
theory on human reactions to stress
stress mobilizes body's resources to react to stressors Lead to increase in sympathetic nervous system lead to increased secretions by endocrine system Response is the same regardless of the stressor Parasympathic ideally brings you back down to homeostasis
38
5 categories of stress
acute time limited stressors, brief naturalistic stress, stress event sequence, chronic stressors, distant stressors
39
acute time limited stress (of the 5 categories)
(Everyday stress) giving a talk without much notice, solving a problem that needs immediate attention, being stuck by the train before class
40
brief naturalistic stress (of 5 categories)
huge project coming up, taking a final, driving through a lasting snow storm, relationship problem or situation from weekend
41
stress event sequence (of 5 categories)
as they are going through it they know the stress will end some day EX: death of a friend of family member, Katrina Event, Sandy, getting life back together
42
Chronic stressors (of 5 categories)
Everyday stress- do not know when these forms of stress will come to an end EX: raising a child with a disability, caring for parents, long term financial stress
43
Distant stressors (of 5 categories)
traumatic event in our lives that will not go away. Continue to haunt us in our lives. EX: abuse as a child, war experience, abandonment
44
define the somatic nervous system
what manages our conscious actions, entirely under our control.
45
explain The General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS(
GAS is a predictable response patter to all stressors. follows 3 stages: 1. Alarm: fight or flight stage 2. Resistance: coping stange 3. Exhaustion: life threatening breakdown stage
46
define eustress
optimal amount of stress (good)
47
define hardness *
a form od optimism, ability to cope and see stress as a challenge or a time to learn and grow somebody who sees stress as a challenge and takes it as a learning experience
48
personality trait: Type A
higher perceived stress level and more problems coping (very competitive)
49
personality trait: Type B
less frustrated by daily events and more tolerant- doesn't really bother them, just lets it go
50
personality trait: Type c
suppression of anger, difficulty expressing emotions - like a balloon
51
Behavioral responses are controlled by the ________________, which manages our conscious actions under our control
somatic nervous system
52
define allostatic load
the long-term negative impact of the stress response on the body, especially long-term exposure to stress hormones like cortisol
53
define Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI)
the study of the interactions among the nervous system, the endocrine system, and the immune system to stress responses
54
Define Cardiovascular disease (CVD)
disease of the | heart and blood vessels
55
Type I Diabetes (juvenile onset, insulin-dependent)
genetic: Pancreas fails to produce insulin ◦ Usual onset before age 30 ◦ About 5% of all diabetics are Type I
56
Type II Diabetes (non-insulin dependent)
controllable, usually a result of obesity: Once called adult onset, but there has been a rise in the prevalence in children ◦ Lack of sensitivity to insulin and/or not enough insulin ◦ Often caused by obesity ◦ ~95% of diabetics are Type II
