hans selye general adaption syndrome

Question 13

name the stages of hans selye general adaptation syndrome

Answer 13

alarm reaction
resistance
exhaustion

Question 14

what happens in alarm reaction

Answer 14

heart rate increases, blood is diverted away from other body functions to muscels needed to react. the organism readies itself to meet the challenge. through activation of sympathetic nervous system.

Question 15

what happens in resistance stage

Answer 15

the body remains physiologically ready (high heart rate etc) hormones are released to maintain this stage or readiness. If this stage lasts too long resources from body can be depleted

Question 16

what happens during exhaustion stage

Answer 16

parasympathetic nervous system returns our body back to the normal physiologcal state. More prone to disease in this state

Question 17

perceived lack of control is ones disbelief in that they have control of the present situation. increases stress

Question 19

how is stress measured

Answer 19

stress is measured by the social readjustment rating scale (SRRS) this measures stress using life-change units (LCUs). The higher the score the more stressed the person is likely to be. any major life change increases the score on the SRRS. an event considered more positive has same number or as many LCUs.

Question 20

theory that our behaviour is motivated by biological needs

darwin

Question 21

Question 25

what does ventromedial hypothalamus control

Answer 25

controls the body's need to stop eating and signals the body that you are full

Question 26

Answer 26

describes how the hypothalamus might decide what impulse to send. theory states that the body might want to maintain a certain optimum body weight. for example if you were underweight the metabolism might slow down

Question 27

Question 34

What is the opponent-process theory How does it work What is opponent What is withdrawal how long does it last usually

Answer 34

Explains addictive behavior. Humans are at a baseline state (normal state). Doing certain activities takes you away from that baseline state. eg: getting drunk/high Opponent refers to the desire to return back to the baseline state Withdrawal occurs when baseline shifts and you try to return baseline to normal Lasts 2-3 weeks normally EG: smoke 2 cigs a day and that gives you a high - moves you away from baselines. Eventually ur baseline will shift to the high of the 2 cigs a day. Now you have to smoke 4 cigs a day for the same high. Withdrawal would be trying to move ur baseline back to normal and not smoking at all.

Answer 37

William masters and Virginia Johnson Initial excitement - Genital areas become engorged with blood Plateau phase - Respiration and heart rate continue at an elevated level, genitals secrete fluids in preparation for sex Orgasm - Rhythmic genital contractions that may help conception, respiration, and heart rate increase further and lead to a pleasurable euphoria Resolution phase - Respiration and heart rate return to normal resting states, men experience a refractory period Refractory period - a time period that must elapse before another orgasm.
