The "fight or flight" response is the term given to the
response of the division of the autonomic nervous
system called the'
-sympathetic nervous system
-peritoneal nervous system
-all of these
-parasympathetic nervous system
-central nervous system
Sympathetic nervous system *
Cortisol, the main glucocorticoid in the body, is
known as the
-homeostasis hormone
-steroid hormone

Stats of stress found in the workplace

What is the functioning of the neural loop?
Depressed mood produces all the same behavior changes

, infection, is the same neural loop that gives us the classic
fight or flight response.
"stress is another form of infection"
Cortisol
The main glucocorticoid in the body known as the stress
hormone
enhances the brains use of glucose and inhibits functions
such as digestion, immune functioning and other
symptoms not required in fight or flight response.
Epinephrine vs. Norepinephrine
Epinephrine: increase heart rate, blood pressure and
energy supplies
Norepinephrine: works throughout the body to ready it for
emergencies
ACTH vs. CRH
The main function of CRH is the stimulation of the pituitary
synthesis of ACTH,
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is a hormone
produced in the anterior, or front, pituitary gland in the
brain. The function of ACTH is to regulate levels of the
steroid hormone cortisol, which released from the adrenal
gland.
Logotherapy
Each human life has inherent meaning. Logotherapy helps
