The Body’s Response to Stress

Whenever we are surprised by a sudden stressor, such as someone swerving into our lane of traffic, the adrenal glands jump into action. These two almond-shaped glands sit above the kidneys. They secrete adrenaline as well as other hormones into the bloodstream. As a result, the heart speeds up, breathing rate increases, blood pressure elevates, and the flow of blood to the muscles increases. It is believed that this sudden burst of energy and strength has helped generations of humans survive during adversity. This response is also believed to be one of our most basic survival instincts. It is known as the flight or fight response. This response prepares the body to combat a real or perceived threat. It is a point at which our bodies go on the alert to either fight or escape.

[Adapted from Donatelle, Health: the Basics, 5th ed., p.54 (in Henry, The Effective Reader, 2004; p. 155)]
