Discussion:
Define and Identify the Relationship with Stress
1. Define and identify the relationship that the following have with stress:
Epinephrine: A hormone secreted by the adrenal medulla. Epinephrine plays a central role in the short-term response to stress reaction. It is the physiological response to threatening excitement or environmental stressor such as high noise.
ACTH-glucocorticoids: A hormone secreted by the Adrenal Cortex. During stress ACTH-glucocorticoids increase blood glucoselevel.
ADH-vasopressin: An anti-diuretic hormone secreted by the pituitary gland. Headache, decreased energy, low libido, and weight gain may be attributed to
TSH-thyroxin
insulin/glucagon
GH-growth hormone
Explain how these are related to aging.
