What is involved in regulating the body's reaction to stress?
Regulating the body's reaction to stress involves a complex interplay between the brain, nervous system, and endocrine system. The hypothalamus in the brain releases corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) which triggers the release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland. ACTH then stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol, which helps the body respond to stress. Additionally, the autonomic nervous system plays a role by activating the sympathetic response, leading to increased heart rate, blood pressure, and secretion of stress hormones.
How sounds are convertd into electrical signals going to the brain?
There are several (a lot) of tiny hair like structures inside the ear will vibrate in response to certain sound frequencies. When a hair vibrates, it stimulates a particular cell which sends a signal to the neurons next to it, to the brain. The brain takes all of the inputs and can interpret that as sounds and frequencies. Louder sounds will cause it to vibrate more, so the brain can interpret that as well.
What is it called when a stimulus does not go all the way to the brain and the response is considered an automatic response?
A reflex is an automatic response to a stimulus that may not go all the way to the brain.
What role does the brain play in a reflex response?
withdrawal reflex involves the processing of brain. it integrates with cerebellar activity
What organ helps the body manage stress?
There are two basic types of stress, acute stress and chronic stress. Acute stress tends to make the body function a little more efficienctly, particularly the parts that are responsible for carrying out the fight or flight response. Once the stress is gone, the body goes back to normal. Chronic stress, on the other hand, typically causes the body to function a little less efficiently over the long term - it reduces the effectiveness of the immune system, increases blood pressure and shifts energy storage into adipose tissue.
