    Stress
     Any event which an individual finds difficult to
    cope with is called a stressor.
     The stress may be physical, psychological or
    socio-culture.
     Animals have to endure many stressors in
    their natural environments. For eg, food
    shortages, survivability from predator or
    parasites, conflicts with group members,
    fluctuations in food and water availability and
    temperature.
    Stress
    • Stress = Nervous system + endocrine system
    to prepare the body for a challenge.
    • Physiological response - The fight-or-flight
    sympathetic nervous system response works
    to keep alive, like release of endorphins,
    dopamine and other neurotransmitters
    • Autonomic nervous system :
    • Effects via PSNS (Trophotropic response) are
    inhibition, slowing and restorative functions
    • Effects of neural activation via SNS (ergotropic
    response) are generalized arousal.
    • Adrenocorticotropic Hormone, Corticotropin
    Releasing Hormone and Glucocorticoid
    increases energy and reduce inflammation,
    histamines and immunity at ACTH axis
    • General Adaptation Syndrome was proposed
    by Hans Seyle (1956 ) as an integrative model
    for the stress response. It is tri- phasic
    phenomenon which involves alarm, resistance
    and exhaustion phase
    • Epinephrine effects heart rate and stroke
    volume: acts on blood and resources to non-
    essentials like guts, reproductive, skin, heart,
    brain, lungs, skeletal muscle
    • Other effects: release stored nutrients from
    liver and fat into blood stream send WBCs to
    battle stations in skin during injury
    • Oxytocin —released during stress and makes
    us seek out social connections
    • Stress – released less cortisol and more
    oxytocin (vasodilation) and repairs damaged
    cardiac muscle from stress, combats
    inflammation
