In response to emotional or physical stress, the human body induces a complicated physiologic response that is known and yet still incompletely understood. The biology of stress is discussed using the terms allostasis (the normal stress response and the reason that stress exists), allostatic load (...
Let’s consider the physiological definition of stress to understand what it means when a person says, “I’m feeling stressed.” In physiology, stress is anything that causes the body to respond by releasing stress hormones. The definition of stress, then, is: an event that causes by the ...

Physiology of Stress Stress can be short-lived (acute) or long-lasting (chronic). Short-lived stress is a "fight or flight" response, where our main stress hormone (cortisol) increases to help us respond to the stress. Examples of acute stress are preparing for an exam, a...
