Although stress exposure initiates integrated responses by multiple systems, the functional results are first manifested as: Select all that apply

A) Enhanced respiratory rate/depth
B) Cravings for high-carbohydrate foods
C) Increased alertness and focus
D) Increased glucose utilization
E) Increased GI peristalsis


Ans: A, C, D
Feedback:
Exposure to stress activates an immediate response by the neuroendocrine system that plays a role in most of the responses to stress and attempts to adapt. Results of the coordinated release of these neurohormones include mobilization of energy, a sharpened focus and awareness, increased cerebral blood flow and glucose utilization, enhanced cardiovascular and respiratory functioning, redistribution of blood flow to the brain and muscles, modulation of the immune response, inhibition of reproductive function, and a decrease in appetite.
