Initial phase of Selye's GAS in which the body mobilizes its defences against a stressor A portion of the brain that initiates the stress response in both the nervous system and the endocrine system 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 three-stage response of the body to stressors as identified by Selye: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion A positive, yet stressful, experience Component of the autonomic system that re-establishes homeostasis in the system and promotes the reconstructive process following a stressful experience The degree to which an individual (or community) understands the effects of stress The outer portion of the adrenal gland; at times of stress supplies hormones to the body that provide energy and increase blood pressure, but that can adversely affect the body's ability to resist and recover from disease Substances released by the adrenal glands upon stimulation form the sympathetic division when one is under stress Third stage in Selye's GAS; body experiences fatigue and immunocompromise because of the severity or duration of a stressor A gland that secretes insulin and glucagon in response to blood sugar levels The dynamic physiological response on the part of the body to maintain a stable internal state in spite of the demands of the environment
