Description

Join me on this episode as we break down Chapter 5 where we:

• Describe the significance of the principles of internal constancy, homeostasis, stress, and adaptation in promoting and maintaining steady state in the body.

• Describe the General Adaptation Syndrome and the sympathetic–adrenal–medullary and hypothalamicpituitary responses to stress.

• Identify ways in which maladaptive responses to stress can increase the risk of illness and cause disease.

• Compare the adaptive processes of atrophy, hypertrophy, hyperplasia, metaplasia, and dysplasia within the body’s inflammatory and reparative processes.

• Assess the health patterns of individuals and families, identifying strategies that are useful in reducing stress.
