Division of the nervous system that is made up of the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system (further divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic) The central portion of the adrenal gland; secretes catecholamines (containing both adrenaline and noradrenaline) when the hypothalamus initiates the stress repsonse Division of the nervous system that is composed of the brain and spinal chord Substances released by the adrenal glands upon stimulation form the sympathetic division when one is under stress The body's complex autonomic reaction when faced with a perceived threat The degree to which an individual (or community) understands the effects of stress A set of physiological responses that allow a person to deal with a stressor; second phase of Selye's GAS in which the body mobilizes its resources if the source of stress moves from acute to chronic
