Stressor Response

        Help!  

Question
Answer
anger, fear, anxiety, and excitement   emotional stress  
🗑
trauma, fever, haemorrhage, surgery, and malnutrition   physical stress  
🗑
stress response is initiated by the   hypothalamus  
🗑
short term stress   The Alarm Reaction  
🗑
long term stress   The stage of resistance  
🗑
The body needs the ability to suddenly mobilise resources (Glucose), particularly to the heart and skeletal muscles, to allow for “fight or flight   Purpose of GAS  
🗑
Hypothalamus projects descending axons to autonomic nuclei in the medulla oblongata that influence   HR, BP, digestive activities and respiration  
🗑
Hypothalamus projects descending axons to   autonomic nuclei  
🗑
autonomic nuclei are in the   medulla oblongata  
🗑
Interneuron in the spinal cord stimulates the pre-ganglionic sympathetic nerve fibres to stimulate   Adrenal medulla  
🗑
Adrenal medulla releases   80% epinephrine and 20% nor-epinephrine  
🗑
more potent stimulator of metabolic activities (rise in glucose), bronchial dilation, and increased blood flow to skeletal muscles and the heart.   Epinephrine  
🗑
has a greater influence on peripheral vasoconstriction and blood pressure   Norepinephrine  
🗑
The action potential travels from the limbic system to the   hypothalamus  
🗑
new action potential is generated by the hypothalamus and sent via   descending sympathetic fibre  
🗑
Alarm reaction (short term stress response) causes increase in:   HR, BP, RR, metabolic rate, sweating, bronchiole and pupil dilation, glucose release to blood  
🗑
Alarm reaction (short term stress response) causes decrease in:   digestive system activity, urine output  
🗑
During the stage of Resistance or long term stress response Hypothalamus releases   Corticotropin releasing hormone( CRH)  
🗑
CRH acts on   anterior pituatary gland  
🗑
Anterior pituatary gland releases   Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)  
🗑
ACTH acts on   adrenal cortex  
🗑
adrenal cortex releases   cortisol  
🗑
cortisol blood levels rise, inhibiting   CRH and ACTH  
🗑
during cortisol release negative feedback, the hypothalmus releases CRH into   hypothalamo-hypophyseal portal system  
🗑
cortisol is carried by what through systemic circulation   proteins like Albumin  
🗑
gluconeogenesis, lipolysis, protein catabolism in all tissues bar hepatocytes and inhibits lipogenesis in fat tissue   cortisol effects  
🗑
stimulates the liver to break down fats, encourages glycogen breakdown, acts as glucose sparing hormone   growth hormone  
🗑
stimulates metabolism and increase in glucose blood levels   thyroid hormones  
🗑
Na & H2O retention, dcrs in cap perm. formation of prostaglandins/leukotrines, stab. lysosomal membr. inhibits phagocytosis & suppresses T-Lymphocytes, inhibits connective tissue repair   long term cortisol effects  
🗑
nervous tic, fatigue, depression, anxiety, overreating, insomnia, HTN, CAD, IBS, sexual dysfunction, hair loss, autoimmune disease, tension headach   State of exhaustion  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
