HP midterm CH11
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Stress | A state of mental and physical tension – Homeostasis, or balance of the body, is disrupted |
| Eustress | "positive" stress (can improve performance) |
| Distress | "negative" stress (disrupts health & functioning) |
| Stressor | A factor that produces stress – Physical or mental – Acute, cumulative, or chronic |
| Stress response | Body's reaction to stress – Prepares us to deal with stressors to restore homeostasis |
| Autonomic nervous system | involuntary actions |
| Autonomic nervous system subsystems | Sympathetic and parasympathetic branches |
| Sympathetic | activates when you need to react/produce energy |
| Parasympathetic | functions during rest, relaxation |
| Fight or Flight | Series of physiological reactions that prepare a person to combat a real or perceived threat • Combined stress responses of autonomic nervous system/endocrine system (After stressor dealt with, body returns to homeostasis) |
| Endocrine system | Glands/tissues that secrete hormones to regulate body processes – Under stress, endocrine system |
| Automatic survival response to face (fight) or run away from (flight) any type of threat or challenge | Fight or Flight |
| Responses activate body for action (fight or flight) | – Increased awareness, quickened impulses, body temperature fluctuations, diminished pain perception – Blood diverted from digestion to muscles |
| Everyday stressors may not be "life or death," | but can still evoke the fight-or-flight response |
| General Adaptation Syndrome 3 stages | Alarm/Resistance/Exhaustion |
| Alarm Stage | Initial exposure to stress • Fight-or-flight response activates • Body is more injury-prone and susceptible to disease |
| Resistance Stage | Continued exposure to stress • Stress resistance is higher than normal • Body improves capacity to cope with stress |
| Exhaustion Stage | Persistent exposure to stress • Physical resources for responding depleted • Body vulnerable to disease |
| Managing Stress(1) | • Identify and manage your personal stressors • Get adequate rest and sleep • Exercise regularly |
| Use relaxation techniques | – Progressive relaxation – Breathing exercises – Meditation – Visualization |
| Managing Stress(2) | • Develop spiritual wellness • Develop a support network • Avoid counterproductive behaviors – Tobacco, alcohol, or other drugs – Disordered eating patterns |
