100 POINTS

• What body part instructs the rest of the body how
  to adjust to a stressor?

3
100 POINTS

• The Brain

4
100 POINTS

• What are the two major components of the brain?

5
100 POINTS

• The CEREBRAL CORTEX and the SUBCORTEX

6
100 POINTS

• What component of the brain contains the medulla
  oblongata?

7
100 POINTS

• SUBCORTEX

8
100 POINTS

• What does the medulla oblongata do?

9
100 POINTS

• REGULATES HEARTBEAT, RESPIRATION, AND OTHER SUCH
  PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESSES

10
100 POINTS

• What makes the HYPOTHALAMUS significant to this
  course?

11
100 POINTS

• THE HYPOTHALAMUS IS A KEY STRUCTURE IN STRESS
  REACTIVITY

12
100 POINTS

• What two stress reactivity systems does THE
  HYPOTHALAMUS activate?

13
100 POINTS

• The HYPHOTHALAMUS is the ACTIVATOR of the
  AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM and the ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

• IT

14
100 POINTS

• What does the AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM do?

15
100 POINTS

• THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM CONTROLS INVOLUNTARY
  BODILY FUNCTIONS, INCLUDING SOME BASIC BODY
  PROCESSES, SUCH AS HORMONE BALANCE, INTERNAL
  TEMPERATURE, AND THE CONSTRICTION AND DILATION OF
  BLOOD VESSELS

16
100 POINTS

• What are the major organs/glands that make up the
  ENDOCRINE SYSTEM?

17
100 POINTS

• Pituitary, Thyroid, Parathyroid, Adrenal glands
  Pineal gland Thymus gland Pancreas Ovaries
  Testes
• THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM IS COMPRISED OF ALL THE
  GLANDS THAT SECRETE HORMONES, WHICH IN TURN
  REGULATE PHYSIOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS

18
100 POINTS

• What makes the AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM and the
  ENDOCRINE SYSTEM significant to this course?

19
100 POINTS

• DUE to their functions and what they control, THE
  AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM and the ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
  are the 2 MAJOR STRESS REACTIVITY SYSTEMS

20
100 POINTS

• What part of the brain sounds the alarm that
  stress is present?

21

• THE HIPPOCAMPUS

22
DOUBLE JEOPARDY 200 POINTS

• The AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM controls such things
  as heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure,
  and body fluid (especially hormones) regulation
• What are the 2 components of the AUTONOMIC
  NERVOUS SYSTEM?

23
200 POINTS

• The SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM and the
  PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM

24
200 POINTS

• As it relates to the AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM,
  and more specifically, STRESS REACTIVITY AND
  MANAGEMENT,
• What does the SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM do?

25
200 POINTS

• The SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM expends energy AND
  regulates the bodys stress response

26
200 POINTS

• As it relates to the AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM,
  and more specifically, STRESS REACTIVITY AND
  MANAGEMENT,
• What does the PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM do?

27
200 POINTS

• The PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM conserves
  energy AND is responsible for returning the body
  to a relaxed state after a stressor has passed

28
200 POINTS

• What are AT LEAST 3 signs/symptoms of stress that
  are evident through the GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM?

29
200 POINTS

• Dry Mouth, too dry to speak at times
• Throat muscle contractions Difficulty swallowing
• Excess Hydrochloric Acid Ulcers
• Diarrhea
• Constipation
• Pancreatitis-inflammation of the Pancreas

30
200 POINTS

• What are the 2 types of MUSCLE that may be
  affected by stress?

31
200 POINTS

• SKELETAL AND SMOOTH MUSCLE

32
200 POINTS

• What is BRACING?

33
200 POINTS

• Muscle tension caused by excessive contraction of
  muscles due to stress

34
200 POINTS

• Give AT LEAST one example of a symptom of stress
  experienced by the SKELETAL type of muscle.

35
200 POINTS

• SKELETAL examples headaches, backaches, leg
  aches, etc.

36
200 POINTS

• Give AT LEAST one example of a symptom of stress
  experienced by the SMOOTH type of muscle.

37
200 POINTS

• SMOOTH examples upset stomach, diarrhea, etc.

38
200 POINTS

• What are 3 potential signs/symptoms of stress
  that are evident by THE SKIN?

39
200 POINTS

• Increased perspiration
• Decreased temperature
• Increased electrical impulses
• Paleness in color

40
200 POINTS

• What is the GALVANIC SKIN RESPONSE?

41
200 POINTS

• The GALVANIC SKIN RESPONSE is the name given to
  the INCREASE IN ELECTRICAL IMPULSES on the skin
  during a stress response.

42
FINAL JEOPARDY!!

• The development of biofeedback equipment has
  allowed research to be done on VOLUNTARY CONTROL
  over INVOLUNTARY BODY PROCESSES (eg. the
  AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM).
• What has been discovered? AND what is the key
  message, according to what your instructor has
  emphasized during class?

43
FINAL JEOPARDY ANSWER

• People have been taught to control their blood
  pressure, heart rate, breathing rates, and even
  control brain wave emission and blood vessel
  constriction.
• We have CONTROL of and can take RESPONSIBILITY
  for our stress management.
