The system responsible for the fight-or-flight response when triggered by the hypothalamus (faster heartbeat, increased blood pressure) The degree to which an individual (or community) understands the effects of stress The dynamic physiological response on the part of the body to maintain a stable internal state in spite of the demands of the environment Long-term physiological impact of chronic exposure to illness Model that examines the interaction between the environment and heredity, often referred to as "nature versus nurture"; model proposes that predisposing factors in an individual may determine whether or not a physical effect is experienced in the presence of stressful events Substances released by the adrenal glands upon stimulation form the sympathetic division when one is under stress One of two major components of the physical response to stress; made up of the central and peripheral Division of the nervous system that is composed of the brain and spinal chord The non-specific mental or somatic result of any demand upon the body 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 Complex system running through the middle of the brain stem that serves as a communication network to filter messages between the brain and the body
