Chapter 4: Stress Response

Which hormone directly reduces the effectiveness of the immune system in the body in response to prolonged stress? O Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ATCH) O Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) O Cortisol O Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) O Corticotropic releasing factor (CRF)

Cortisol

Activation of the sympathetic nervous system during stress does NOT cause which of the following? O Increased heart rate O Increased blood pressure O Increased gastrointestinal activity O Increased blood flow to skeletal muscle O Increased bronchiole dilation

Increased gastrointestinal activity

Which hormone(s) is/are responsible for the increase in glucose availability in the body in response to stress? Select all that apply. [] Antidiuretic hormone [] Cortisol [] Epinephrine [] Norepinephrine [] Aldosterone

[] Cortisol [] Epinephrine

Which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply. [] Hans Selye coined the term "allostatic load." [] Anti-diuretic hormone is inhibited during stress. [] Epinephrine is released from the adrenal medulla. [] Cortisol inhibits increases in blood glucose. [] Stress activates the SNS (sympathetic nervous system).

[] Epinephrine is released from the adrenal medulla. [] Stress activates the SNS (sympathetic nervous system).

Which reactions are examples of a physical reaction initiated by the body in response to a stressor? Select all that apply. [] Increased sweating [] Increased digestive action [] Increased blood flow to the extremities [] Increased activity of the genitourinary system [] Increased respiration

[] Increased sweating [] Increased respiration
