- Stress
- Short-term (acute)
- Sympatho-Medullary Pathway
- Hypothalamus
- Sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system (ANS)
- Adrenal Medulla
- Adrenaline and Noradrenaline
- Fight or Flight
- Increased Glucose
- Supprssion of non-essential systems
- Parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system (ANS)
- Countershock response, returns body to its normal resting state
- Including the digestive systems
- Parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system (ANS)
- Glucose is quickly released into the bloodstream
- Supprssion of non-essential systems
- Physical changes caused by adrenaline and noradrenaline
- Increased Glucose
- Prepares the body for flight or fight response
- Fight or Flight
- Secretes adrenaline and noradrenaline (hormones)
- Adrenaline and Noradrenaline
- Stimulates the adrenal medulla (inner part of the adrenal gland)
- Adrenal Medulla
- Recognises acute stress
- Sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system (ANS)
- Hypothalamus
- Sympatho-Medullary Pathway
- Long-term (chronic)
- Pituitary-Adrenal System
- Hypothalamus
- Corticotropic Releasing Factor (CRF)
- Pituitary Gland
- Adreno-corticotropic hormone (ACTH)
- Adrenal Cortex
- Corticosteroids
- Immuno-suppression
- Suppression of the body's immune system as a way of conserving energy
- Stimulates the liver to release a steady supply of glucose and cuases immuno-supression
- Immuno-suppression
- Releases corticosteroids (a range of hormones) including cortisol
- Corticosteroids
- Stimulates the adrenal cortex (the outerpart of the adrenal glands)
- Adrenal Cortex
- Releases serveral hormones into the bloodstream
- Adreno-corticotropic hormone (ACTH)
- Alerts the pituitary gland in the brain
- Pituitary Gland
- Recognises chronic stress
- Corticotropic Releasing Factor (CRF)
- Hypothalamus
- Pituitary-Adrenal System
- Short-term (acute)
