What are some of the physiological reactions to stressors?
What will be an ideal response?
Physiological reactions to stressors typically involve not only the central nervous system, but also the immune system, the autonomic nervous system, and the endocrine system. These reactions may include heart rate increases, blood pressure elevation, muscle tension, dry throat and mouth, trembling, teeth grinding, cold hands and feet, headaches, weakness, fatigue, and frequent illnesses. Changes due to stressors typically have negative effects on our relationships and on our work performance. Behavioral changes such as frequent arguing, poor work performance, overeating or under-eating, and others usually set up vicious cycles that amplify stress reactions.
