  1. STRESS PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGY Chapter 2

  2. 100 POINTS • What body part instructs the rest of the body how to adjust to a stressor?

  3. 100 POINTS • The Brain

  4. 100 POINTS • What are the two major components of the brain?

  5. 100 POINTS • The CEREBRAL CORTEX and the SUBCORTEX

  6. 100 POINTS • What component of the brain contains the medulla oblongata?

  7. 100 POINTS • SUBCORTEX

  8. 100 POINTS • What does the medulla oblongata do?

  9. 100 POINTS • REGULATES HEARTBEAT, RESPIRATION, AND OTHER SUCH PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESSES

  10. 100 POINTS • What makes the HYPOTHALAMUS significant to this course?

  11. 100 POINTS • THE HYPOTHALAMUS IS A KEY STRUCTURE IN STRESS REACTIVITY

  12. 100 POINTS • What two stress reactivity systems does THE HYPOTHALAMUS activate?

  13. 100 POINTS • The HYPHOTHALAMUS is the ACTIVATOR of the AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM and the ENDOCRINE SYSTEM IT

  14. 100 POINTS • What does the AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM do?

  15. 100 POINTS • THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM CONTROLS INVOLUNTARY BODILY FUNCTIONS, INCLUDING SOME BASIC BODY PROCESSES, SUCH AS HORMONE BALANCE, INTERNAL TEMPERATURE, AND THE CONSTRICTION AND DILATION OF BLOOD VESSELS

  16. 100 POINTS • What are the major organs/glands that make up the ENDOCRINE SYSTEM?

  17. 100 POINTS • Pituitary, Thyroid, Parathyroid, Adrenal glands; Pineal gland; Thymus gland; Pancreas; Ovaries; Testes • THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM IS COMPRISED OF ALL THE GLANDS THAT SECRETE HORMONES, WHICH IN TURN REGULATE PHYSIOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS

  18. 100 POINTS • What makes the AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM and the ENDOCRINE SYSTEM significant to this course?

  19. 100 POINTS • DUE to their functions and what they control, THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM and the ENDOCRINE SYSTEM are the 2 MAJOR STRESS REACTIVITY SYSTEMS

  20. 100 POINTS • What part of the brain “sounds the alarm” that stress is present?

  21. THE HIPPOCAMPUS

  22. DOUBLE JEOPARDY 200 POINTS • The AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM controls such things as heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and body fluid (especially hormones) regulation • What are the 2 components of the AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM?

  23. 200 POINTS • The SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM and the PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM

  24. 200 POINTS • As it relates to the AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM, and more specifically, STRESS REACTIVITY AND MANAGEMENT, • What does the SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM do?

  25. 200 POINTS • The SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM expends energy AND regulates the body’s stress response

  26. 200 POINTS • As it relates to the AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM, and more specifically, STRESS REACTIVITY AND MANAGEMENT, • What does the PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM do?

  27. 200 POINTS • The PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM conserves energy AND is responsible for returning the body to a relaxed state after a stressor has passed

  28. 200 POINTS • What are AT LEAST 3 signs/symptoms of stress that are evident through the GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM?

  29. 200 POINTS • Dry Mouth, too dry to speak at times • Throat muscle contractions; Difficulty swallowing • Excess Hydrochloric Acid; Ulcers • Diarrhea • Constipation • Pancreatitis-inflammation of the Pancreas

  30. 200 POINTS • What are the 2 types of MUSCLE that may be affected by stress?

  31. 200 POINTS • SKELETAL AND SMOOTH MUSCLE

  32. 200 POINTS • What is BRACING?

  33. 200 POINTS • Muscle tension caused by excessive contraction of muscles due to stress

  34. 200 POINTS • Give AT LEAST one example of a symptom of stress experienced by the SKELETAL type of muscle.

  35. 200 POINTS • SKELETAL examples – headaches, backaches, leg aches, etc.

  36. 200 POINTS • Give AT LEAST one example of a symptom of stress experienced by the SMOOTH type of muscle.

  37. 200 POINTS • SMOOTH examples – upset stomach, diarrhea, etc.

  38. 200 POINTS • What are 3 potential signs/symptoms of stress that are evident by THE SKIN?

  39. 200 POINTS • Increased perspiration • Decreased temperature • Increased electrical impulses • Paleness in color

  40. 200 POINTS • What is the GALVANIC SKIN RESPONSE?

  41. 200 POINTS • The GALVANIC SKIN RESPONSE is the name given to the INCREASE IN ELECTRICAL IMPULSES on the skin during a stress response.

  42. FINAL JEOPARDY!! • The development of biofeedback equipment has allowed research to be done on VOLUNTARY CONTROL over INVOLUNTARY BODY PROCESSES (eg. the AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM). • What has been discovered? AND what is the key message, according to what your instructor has emphasized during class?

  43. FINAL JEOPARDY ANSWER • People have been taught to control their blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rates, and even control brain wave emission and blood vessel constriction. • We have CONTROL of and can take RESPONSIBILITY for our stress management.
