Q

What does the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis do

A

Controls the production of cortisol in the stress response system

21
Q

What controls Adrenalin in the stress response system

A

The sympathetic adrenal medullary

22
Q

What regulates cortisol in the stress response system

A

The hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis

23
Q

What does the hypothalamus control

A

Appetite, sleep, stress, growth hormones, sexual functions etc.

24
Q

What hormones triggers the immune system when we’re stressed

A

Cortisol

25
Q

What happens when the 2 stress response systems are over worked

A

Illness

26
Q

What causes us to have ill health when we have chronic stress

A

When the 2 stress response systems are overworked

27
Q

What hormone/neurotransmitter is fast acting when we endure stress

A

Adrenaline

28
Q

What hormone is slow acting when we endure stress

A

Cortisol

29
Q

How long does it take for cortisol to kick in when we’re stressed

A

15-20 mins

30
Q

What part of the body does cortisol effect

A

Everything

31
Q

What stress hormone can effect all parts of our body

A

Cortisol

32
Q

What are the 3 main parts of the neuroendocrine system

A

The hypothalamus gland, the adrenal gland and the pituitary gland

33
Q

What stress system are the hypothalamus gland, the adrenal gland and the pituitary gland a part of

A

Neuroendocrine system

34
Q

What is the first step of the neuroendocrine system

A

The hypothalamus releases the cortisol releasing hormone

35
Q

Int he neuroendocrine system, where is the cortisol releasing hormone sent from and sent to and how

A

Sent from the hypothalamus, through the blood and to the pituitary gland

36
Q

Int he neuroendocrine system, what hormone does the pituitary gland release and where does it get released to and how

A

ACHT through the blood and to the adrenal gland

37
Q

In the neuroendocrine system, what is sent to the adrenal gland, where from, how and what does the adrenal gland produce

A

ACHT sent from the pituitary gland through blood, Adrenal glad produces adrenalin

38
Q

Explain the neuroendocrine system

A

Hypothalamus releases cortisol releasing hormone through blood to pituitary gland, ACHT is then sent from pituitary gland through the blood to the adrenal gland who then releases cortisol into the blood

39
Q

How can cortisol be measured

A

Saliva, blood, hair, wee etc.

40
Q

What are the side effects of excessive cortisol

A

Depression, heart attack, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure

41
Q

What is the Elisa Assay System

A

The process of measuring cortisol through saliva

42
Q

Which stress response system is immediate rapid response to stress

A

The sympathetic adrenal- medullary (Sam)

43
Q

Does stress lead to increase reliance on automatic processing

A

Yes

44
Q

Does stress influence risk taking

A

Yes

45
Q

Does cortisol increase or decrease risk taking in men

A

Increase

46
Q

Does cortisol increase or decrease risk taking in women

A

Decrease

47
Q

What response does cortisol trigger in the immune system

A

Inflammation

48
Q

What part of the brain do we lose regulation in when stressed

A

The pre-frontal cortex

49
Q

Can chronic tress cause psychiatric disorders
