Stress

The Stress Response: A Coordinated Series of Events

• Neurotransmitters (or chemical messengers) are released, triggering an increase in emotional response, and influencing memory, concentration, inhibition, and rational thought.
• The adrenal glands pump out a group of hormones known as glucocorticoids - including the primary stress hormone cortisol - which marshal the heart, lungs, circulation, metabolism, and immune system.
• The thyroid gland when imbalanced pumps out hormones that accelerate metabolism, producing

symptoms such as occasional sleeplessness, nervousness, and exhaustion.

• Sex hormone levels may be reduced with stress, thereby reducing libido and sexual function. Acute stress may also cause a woman's menstrual cycle to be irregular.
• Glucose metabolism may fluctuate with stress as the liver releases stores of glucose into the bloodstream and the pancreas decreases insulin secretion, increasing blood sugar levels for needed energy.
• Heart rate increases during stress as the heart pumps more blood throughout the body.
• Respiratory function may be altered with stress. In some individuals breathing rate increases.
• The coordinated activities involved in digestion can be slowed down as energy is diverted in the stress

response, possibly resulting in stomach discomforts.
