BIOL 260 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Chromaffin Cell, Spatial Memory, Signal Transduction
Document Summary
Outline the components of the stress response in animals. Compare and contrast the various branches of the vertebrate nervous system and their role in stress response. Identify the components of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (hpa) axis and their role in the stress response. Compare and contrast the roles of the sympathetic nervous systems and the (hpa) axis in the stress response. Stressors (of all types) activate both the nervous and the endocrine systems. Stress that remains over a long period of time. Brain deals with these 2 types of stresses differently. Sensory organs receive signals: transmits to the brain through afferent neurons (sensory nervous system) Integrate signals: brain interprets the information to make a decision. Response from the brain has two neural pathways. Several hormones are released at different places up until the target organs. Compare and contrast the various branches of the vertebrate nervous system and role in stress response.
