Acute: hypothalamus, sympathetic branch of
ANS, adrenal medulla, adrenaline, fight or flight
Chronic: hypothalamus, releases CRF, pituitary gland,
releases ATCH, adrenal cortex, sugar for energy
If stress persists: damage to adrenal gland, immune suppression, increase risk of CHD
When stress is gone
hypothalamus, activates parasympathetic brand of ANS, adrenal
medulla stops adrenaline, heart rate breathing, rate and blood pressure returns to normal
