Movement	and	Relaxation		Stress	Workbook:	Your	Guide	to	Stress				Stress	Review…		1. What	is	stress?									2. What	are	the	causes	of	stress?																	a.) Offer	at	least	five	(5)	of	your	current	stressors.															3. How	do	you	know	that	you	are	stressed?		List	signs	and	symptoms	of	stress.																							a.) Circle	the	signs	or	symptoms	you	observe	when	stressed.																			4. What	is	the	importance	of	learning	about	stress	and	employing	positive	stress	management	techniques	as	a	teenager?																										Self-Check:			1. What	do	I	know?															2. What	do	I	need	to	review?																3. What	questions	do	I	have?							Basic	Stress	Anatomy	and	Physiology		A. Nervous	System	The	nervous	system	divides	into	two	branches:		Central	Nervous	System	(CNS)	and	Peripheral	Nervous	System	(PNS).		Both	branches	are	vital	to	the	stress	response.	1. Central	Nervous	System	a. Brain	b. Spinal	Cord		2. Peripheral	Nervous	System	a. Somatic	Nervous	System	b. Autonomic	Nervous	System	i. Sympathetic	Nervous	System		ii. Parasympathetic	Nervous	System			! Our	focus	will	be	on	the	Autonomic	Nervous	System	(ANS).				Autonomic	Nervous	System	(ANS)	The	ANS	branches	into	the	sympathetic	and	parasympathetic	nervous	systems.	1. Sympathetic	Nervous	System	(SNS)	This	branch	prepares	the	body	for	action.		The	effect	of	this	nervous	system	innervates	organs	for	arousal.		2. Parasympathetic	Nervous	System	(PNS)	This	branch	restores	and	relaxes	the	body.		The	effect	of	this	nervous	system	is	to	slow	the	body.			Some	SNS	and	PNS	Effects	SNS	• Accelerates	heart	rate	• Increases	heart	contractility	• Stimulates	sweat	glands	• Dilates	bronchi	• Dilates	pupils	• Salvia	flow	(thick	mucus)	• Inhibits	digestions	• Inhibits	pancreas		• Secretes	adrenaline	and	noradrenaline	• Inhibits	intestines	• Inhibits	bladder	wall		PNS	• Inhibits	heart	• Decreases	metabolism	(heart)	• Constricts	sweat	glands	• Constricts	bronchi	• Constricts	pupils	• Salvia	flow	(watery)	• Increases	digestion	• Stimulates	pancreas		• Stimulates	intestines	• Constricts	bladder					Structure	and	Function	Anatomy	For	each	of	the	following	items,	identify	their	anatomical	location	on	the	various	pictures.		• Cerebral	cortex		• Hypothalamus		• Pituitary	gland		• Adrenal	glands		• Adrenal	medulla		• Adrenal	cortex		• Pineal	gland		• Neocortex		• Limbic	system		• Brain-stem																																																																									Function	For	each	of	the	following	items,	provide	their	function	as	it	relates	to	stress.		Cerebral	cortex					Hypothalamus		Pituitary	gland					Adrenal	glands		Adrenal	medulla					Adrenal	cortex	Pineal	glans					Neocortex	Limbic	system				Brain	stem		Discuss	the	role	and	responsibility	of	each	of	the	following:	• Epinephrine	(Ep)							• Norepinephrine	(NEp)							• Corticotrophin	releasing	hormone	(CRN)							• Adrenocorticotropic	hormone	(ACTH)							• Cortisol														The	Stress	Response													Stressful	event		Sensory	reception		Via	sensory	pathways		Cognitive	Interpretation										Affective	Integration		Perception	of	Threat												No	Perception	of	Threat		Triggering	Mechanisms								No	Stress	Response				Stress	Response																		Father(s)	of	the	Stress		Dr.	Walter	Cannon	and	Dr.	Hans	Selye	were	instrumental	to	the	development	of	the	Stress	Theory.			What	contributions	did	each	physiologist	make	to	the	Stress	Theory?																																									The	General	Adaptation	Syndrome		1. What	is	the	General	Adaptation	Syndrome?												Articulate	what	happens	in	each	stage:	a. Stage	1										b. Stage	2									c. Stage	3									Discuss	the	order	of	the	General	Adaptation	Syndrome.														What	determines	how	exhausted	the	body	becomes	as	a	result	of	the	stressor?													Stress	and	Health	and	Performance	What	are	the	leading	causes	of	death	in	the	United	States?		Explore	the	top	ten	(10).							List	the	risk	factors	for	each	of	the	top	3	–	5	leading	causes	of	death.																		What	is	the	relationship	with	stress?								Self-Check:			1. What	do	I	know?															2. What	do	I	need	to	review?																3. What	questions	do	I	have?
