Pathophysiology - Module 3 Quiz
Allostasis - answeran adaptive physiologic response to stressful events (i.e., fight or
flight)
"wear and tear on the body as a result of stressful events"
Allostasis involves - answer"stability through change"
In allostasis, the brain continuously monitors for future events and anticipates what is
required from __________________________ and ___________________________
systems - answerneuroendocrine, autonomic
Allostatic overload - answeran exaggerated, pathophysiologic response to stress
Allostatic overload involves overactivation of - answeradaptive systems
Allostatic overload is highly _____________________________ - answerindividualized
Homeostasis - answera biological system's ability to maintain dynamic internal
equilibrium in the face of external or internal changes
"body imbalance"
Physiological responses to stress are processed through - answerSympathetic nervous
system (SNS)
Parasympathetic nervous system (PNS)
Sympathetic nervous system - answer"flight or flight"
produces hormonal and
catecholamine responses
up-regulated during stress
