M1. Discussion: Stress
Your Body’s Response to Changing Conditions (Stress)
It never fails – you’re under stress. Bills, exams, kids, responsibilities, the list goes on and on. Now you’ve got heartburn, your hair is falling out and you’ve got a fever blister. What the hey! How is it all related?
*How do the ANS (Autonomic Nervous System) and Endocrine System work together to maintain homeostasis in times of short-term and long term stress?
*Is it true that neurotransmitters can act as hormones as well as stimulate the release of hormones?
*What happens when your body can’t compensate?
Evidence used to support your views should include information on the specific anatomy and physiology of the body system(s) affected.
