General Adaption Syndrome Analysis
General Adaption Syndrome- (Stress Response) Three Stages: Consistent way the body reacts to stress; typically involves elevated levels of epinephrine and glucocorticoids
Alarm reaction- mediated by norepinephrine from the sympathetic nervous system, and epi from the adrenal medulla. They prepare body for flight or fight. Angiotensin and aldosterone levels also increase. Angiotensin raises BP, aldosterone promotes sodium and H2O conservation, which helps offset possible losses by sweating and bleeding.
Stage of Resistance- If stressful situation isn’t resolved before the glycogen is gone, it enters this stage. 1st priority is finding alternative fuels for metabolism. Stage dominated by cortisol. Hypothalamus secretes cotropin-releasing
