What happens physiologically and psychologically during the General Adaptation Syndrome?
During the General Adaptation Syndrome, the body goes through three stages: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. In the alarm stage, the body perceives a stressor and activates the fight-or-flight response, releasing stress hormones like adrenaline. In the resistance stage, the body tries to adapt to the stressor by maintaining elevated hormone levels and physiological responses. If the stressor persists, the body enters the exhaustion stage, where resources are depleted, leading to physical and psychological burnout.
What hormone is released during alarm phase of general adaptation syndrome when it is necessary to enlist the fight or flight response?
Adrenaline is released during alarm phase of the general adaptation syndrome, when it is necessary to enlist the fight or flight response. This adaptation is so hard-wired in our bodies that simply watching a scary movie can elicit the response, cause the body to release Adrenaline, and bring about all the same physiological changes that are produced if a knife-wielding person attacked you. The same response can occur when you open your electric bill and see that you owe nearly $500, or when a person softly approaches so you didn't hear them coming and they surprise you.
Why do levels of GHRH and CRH rise during the resistance phase of the general adaptation syndrome?
During the resistance phase of the general adaptation syndrome, there is a high demand for glucose, especially by the nervous system. The hormones GH-RH and CRH increase the levels of GH and ACTH, respectively. Growth hormone mobilizes fat reserves and promotes the catabolism of protein; ACTH increases cortisol, which stimulates both the conversion of glycogen to glucose and the catabolism of fat and protein.
What is the stage resistance of the general adaptation syndrome?
The stage resistance in the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) refers to the second phase of the body's response to stress, following the alarm reaction. During this stage, the body attempts to adapt to the ongoing stressful situation, utilizing resources to cope with the stressor. Physiological responses, such as increased hormone production, help maintain homeostasis, but if the stress persists for too long, it can lead to exhaustion and a decline in health. Ultimately, prolonged resistance can compromise the immune system and increase vulnerability to illness.
What is the cause of Kallmann syndrome?
Kallmann syndrome is an example of hypogonadism (decreased functioning of the sex hormone-producing glands) caused by a deficiency of gonadotropin-releasing hormone
What is the code for syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone in the icd-9?
253.6
What are medications in turner's syndrome?
Growth hormone to increase adult height. Hormone replacement therapy is begun during adolescence and continued. People with Turner syndrome may also take medication for associated medical conditions, such as high blood pressure and thyroid conditions.
What does recent research indicate about hormone treatment for premenstrual syndrome?
Recent studies, however, indicate that hormone treatment has little effect over placebo.
Is Turner's syndrome curable?
Turner's syndrome is not curable. It can be treated though. Growth hormone injections can be given to increase height. Hormone replacement therapy can then be taken to initiate puberty and continued from then on. Infertility caused by this syndrome cannot be treated, however it is possible for a woman with Turner's to go through IVF with a donor egg.
Cushing syndrome results from hypersecretion of glucocorticoid hormone by a tumor of the adrenal cortex?
True: Cushing syndrome affects more women than men. The hypersecretion of glucocorticoid hormone causes patients with Cushing syndrome to develop a characteristic moon face. Redistribution of body fat causes a buffalo hump on the upper back.
Are headaches a side effect of pre-menstrual syndrome?
It is common for certain types of headache to be responsive to changes in hormone levels that can accompany pre-menstrual syndrome.
What is the concept of cushing about?
"Cushing" refers to Cushing's syndrome, an issue that results from high exposures to the hormone cortisol. The syndrome will result in a tumor appearing on the pituitary gland.
