A gland in the brain described as the "master" gland because it controls other glands through the hormones it secretes; most of these hormones have an indirect impact on stress 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) A portion of the brain that initiates the stress response in both the nervous system and the endocrine system 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 A positive, yet stressful, experience 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 The body's complex autonomic reaction when faced with a perceived threat The non-specific mental or somatic result of any demand upon the body Component of the autonomic system that re-establishes homeostasis in the system and promotes the reconstructive process following a stressful experience A system of the body that controls glandular responses to stress; responds more slowly than nervous system but the effects can persist for weeks A gland that secretes insulin and glucagon in response to blood sugar levels 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 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 The degree to which an individual (or community) understands the effects of stress Long-term physiological impact of chronic exposure to illness An important gland in the stress response because it produces thyroxine, which increases blood pressure and respiration rate, and affects mental processes The system responsible for the fight-or-flight response when triggered by the hypothalamus (faster heartbeat, increased blood pressure) The central portion of the adrenal gland; secretes catecholamines (containing both adrenaline and noradrenaline) when the hypothalamus initiates the stress repsonse
