Acute activation of the stress response is known as?
Short-Term Response
The Short-Term Response typically lasts between ?
Minutes to Hours
The Short-Term Response aims to?
Restore Physiological Homeostasis
Excessive or _ activation of the stress response lasts between?
Chronic, Several Hours per day for weeks or months
_ or Chronic activation can lead to a variety of ,,_, and _ disorders
Excessive, metabolic, psychological, reproductive, immunological
Immunological disorders can lead to increased susceptibility to _ and _ diseases and _
infectious, auto-immune, cancer
For a stress response to occur the organism must
Sense the stressor
Sensing the stressor occurs through
The five senses, recognition of the non-self and danger signals by the immune system, and communication between host and gut biome
The sensory input is relayed to the brain via _, _, and _ where it can be perceived as _ which elicits the stress response
neural transmitters, hormones, cytokines, danger
Variation in the stress response is determined by , _ , and _-- interactions regulated by _
genetics, environmental factors, gene-by-enviroment, epigenetics
Variation in at the level of _ _, _ _, and _ _
sensory input, stress perception, stress response
What determines if an animal is stress resilient?
Animal can resist, cope, and restore homeostasis
What are 3 other factors that determine an animals resilience to stress?
Genetics, Environment, Epigenetic Mechanisms
If an animal that has a low stress resilience is easily overcome or sensitized to a stressor it can lead to what?
Hyper-responsiveness to the same stressor or other stressors during exposure
Hyper-responsiveness can lead to what?
Disease
