Tracing a Stress Response From Stimulus to Hormone Cascade, Worked Capstone
Captions available
The idea
This capstone traces one stress response from an initial threat through both nervous and endocrine mechanisms, drawing together this unit's autonomic, hormonal, and feedback atoms into a single sequence.
Where people slip
Treating the fight-or-flight response as a single event is the error here — it layers a fast neural reaction and a slower hormonal one on different timescales, and mistaking the second for a delayed copy of the first misses why chronic stress, which keeps the slower system running, causes different harm than a single acute scare.
