Slide 3 of 7
Slide 3 - Defining Stress: A Biological Perspective
- Stress is an organism's response to environmental or life change.
- Involves autonomic nervous system and HPA axis.
- Short-term adaptive system meant to restore homeostasis.
- Can be physiological, biological, or psychological.

Slide 4 - Common Stressors
External Causes
- Neighborhood environment
- Financial strain
- Work-related pressure
- Interpersonal conflicts
- Caregiving responsibilities
Internal/Psychological Causes
- Chronic worries
- Persistent negative thoughts
- Unresolved conflicts
- Perceived threats (even when not present)
- Long-term anticipation of problems

Slide 5 - The Physiology of Stress
- SAM Axis: Triggers the 'fight-or-flight' response via sympathetic nervous system.
- HPA Axis: Regulates cortisol, impacting metabolism, psychology, and immunity.
- Regulation Centers: Limbic system, prefrontal cortex, amygdala, hypothalamus.
- Homeostasis: Parasympathetic nervous system works to return the body to balance.

Slide 6 - Consequences of Chronic Stress
- High blood pressure and heart disease risk.
- Damage to muscle tissue and inhibited growth.
- Susceptibility to mental health disorders (e.g., anxiety, depression).
- Compromised immune function.
- 'Allostatic Load': The cumulative 'hidden cost' of chronic overstimulation.
