Stress 2018 Learning outcomes:
By the end of each lecture you should be able to….
Lecture 1
●Identify acute and chronic stressors.
●Explain the physiological changes that are associated with the stress
response.
●Argue why physiologic processes are either activated or deactivated during
stress.
●Compare and contrast homeostasis and allostasis.
●Describe Hans Seyle’s experiment and its relevance to stress and disease.
Lecture 2
●Compare and contrast the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system
responses.
●Describe Otto Loewi’s experiment and the importance of his discovery.
●Compare and contrast hormones and neurotransmitters.
●Identify the pre- and post-ganglionic neurotransmitters of the Sympathetic
and Parasympathetic nervous system.
●Identify the endocrine regions associated with the stress response.
●Describe how the slow and fast stress responses work together.
Lecture 3
●Describe the roll of cholesterol in steroid hormone production.
●Identify the brain regions, neurotransmitters, glands and hormones involved
in the slow stress response.
●Define the inverse U of stress.
●Compare and contrast Cushing syndrome and Addison’s disease.
Lecture 4
●Describe how do the fast and slow stress responses change heart rate and
blood flow.
●Compare and contrast veins and arteries.
●Explain what diastolic and systolic blood pressure tell you.
●Describe the steps by which stress causes atherosclerosis and heart disease.
●Define what hypertrophy is.
●Define what a bifurcation is.
Lecture 5
●Describe how sympathetic tone builds plaques, clots and embolisms.
●Compare and contrast aneurism, ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.
●Describe ways in which social rank can increase or decrease cardiovascular
risk.
●List some habits that exacerbate stress.
●Explain how income influences cardiovascular disease.
●Describe why estrogen is protective against cardiovascular disease.
Lecture 6
●Describe the macromolecules found in the food we eat.
●Identify the role for each of those macromolecules play.
●Explain what is so important about hydrocarbon bonds.
●Explain why some fats are solid at room temperature.
●Describe what is traveling in our bloodstream following digestion.
●Identify the cells of the pancreas and associate hormones.
●Compare and contrast the roll of insulin and glucagon.
●Define glycogen.
●Name three jobs for insulin.
●Identify the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome.
Lecture 7
●Define autophagy.
●List the ways that stress hormones interfere with insulin and glucagon.
●Explain how stress hormones like cortisol cause myopathy.
●Compare and contrast the ways that cortisol can exacerbate Type 1 and Type
2 diabetes.
●Identify causes for the skyrocketing rates of Type 2 diabetes.
Lecture 8
●Compare and contrast the roll of CRH and glucocorticoids (GCs) in regulation
of appetite.
●Explain differences in circulation timing of CRH and GCs.
●Describe the differences between a high and low reactor to stressful
situations like public speaking.
●Describe what happens to glucocorticoids and insulin circulation during the
recovery phase.
●Explain what happens to the pH of the stomach during stress and how this
leads to ulcers.
Lecture 9
●REVIEW
Lecture 10
●List the three main hormones associated with reproduction.
●Compare and contrast the roll of the above hormones in males and females.
●Define “negative feedback” and explain the roll of testosterone in negative
feedback of reproductive hormones.
●Describe the roll of reproductive hormones including estradiol and
progesterone in the female monthly ovulation cycle.
