Nonspecific physiologic responses to stress incorporate three systemic stages: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. The alarm stage (fight-or-flight response) begins when the hypothalamus senses a need to activate the general adaptation syndrome (GAS) in response to a stimulus, a stressor placing the balance of homeostasis at risk.
May 7, 2024 · In the nervous system, stress triggers the sympathetic nervous system, prompting the adrenal glands to release catecholamines. Once the acute stress-induced crisis subsides, the parasympathetic nervous system aids in the body's recovery.

The body’s stress response is mediated by the sympathetic nervous system and the hypothalmic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Learning Objectives Distinguish between the nervous system and endrocrine system responses to stress
Nov 23, 2024 · Key Points When the body senses stress, the hypothalamus signals the adrenal medulla to release epinephrine or norepinephrine, or the anterior pituitary to release ACTH. In short-term stressful situations, such as when a threat is perceived, epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline) are released to prepare the body for a ...
