what are selye’s general adaptation syndrome compromises
loss of appetite (anorexia), loss of muscle strength (weakness), loss of ambition (malaise)
what are the 3 body changes in the selye’s triad when talking about general adaption syndrome?
enlargement of adrenal glands
atrophy of thymus gland
develop gastric ulcers ( increase acid secretion)
general adaption syndrome phase 1
alarm reaction, mobilize resources
general adaption syndrome phase 2
resistance, cope with stressor
general adaption syndrome phase 3
exhaustion, reserves depleted, most vulnerable
what are the two catecholamines
norepinephrine and epinephrine
what does norepinephrine do when activated
increased bp and vasoconstriction, inhibits gi, dilates pupils, dilates bronchial airways, block insulin (increase blood sugar)
what does epinephrine do when activated
more cardiac affects, increased hr, venous return, co and bp, increased muscle strength, promotes glucose formation for energy (inhibits glucose breakdown)
where is the HPA system
hypothalamus, pituitary gland, adrenal gland
what does the hypothalamus do in the hpa system
activate the sympathetic nervous system, which activates norepinephrine and adrenal medulla, also releases crh which activates anterior pituitary
what does the adrenal medulla do in the hpa system
release epinephrine
what does the anterior pituitary gland do in the hpa system
release ACTH which activates the adrenal cortex which activates cortisol
what do endorphins do
increase pain threshold, excitement, well being, and euphoria
what increases endorphins
exercise and emergencies
what decrease endorphins
chronic stress
cortisols bad functions
maintain blood sugar at high level, promote gastric acid secretion (ulcers), decreased wound healing, suppressed immune response (suppress antibodies, promotes atrophy of thymus, spleen and lymph nodes,) lipolysis (fat moves to trunk and face)
cortisols good functions
may conserve energy, decrease immunity=decrease damage, reduce cytokines, anti-inflammatory

what is the 3rd phase of aids
overt aids- cd4 less than 200, aids defining illnesses, death in 1-2 years

karposi sarcoma
only seen in aids patients, decrease NK cells, more susceptible to other cancers
