If a blood vessels bursts this is called a stroke. The blood becomes sticky because the amount of sugar and fats that have been released into the blood to try and respond. Stress can be linked with many problems such as eczema, depression and stomach. There are different ways to manage stress and this can be from medication to exercise. The human body is designed to know when stress is used and is effecting the body and your body should know how and when to react to it.
Outline and evaluate research into Stress and the Immune System Stress is the feeling of being under too much mental or emotional pressure, and is experienced when a person's perceived environmental, social, and physical demands exceed their perceived ability to cope. Stress itself is not an illness but can cause an illness if not tackled. By being stressed, it leads to an increase in cortisol (a hormone produced by the adrenal gland), and this increase in cortisol leads to a decrease in immune system functioning, which therefore leads to several illnesses. The main function of the immune system is to protect the body from infectious agents such as viruses and other toxins. In support of this theory, a natural experiment was carried out by Kiecolt Glasser et al in 1984.
Physiological ‘Stress’, marked by the secretion of glucocorticoid hormones and often referred as the negative consequence of an animal’s failure to cope with changing environment, in certain circumstances, is a need in ensuring survival and allowing adaptation to such change (Wielebnowski et al. 2002; Moberg 2000; Mostl and Palme, 2002; Menargues et. al. 2008). But if it persists for a prolonged duration, the continuous action of high concentration of Glucocorticoid on liver, muscle and adipose tissues, loses it adaptive value, adversely impacts the muscle and bone impairing the endocrine and immune function, degrading the body mass, individual fitness and causing reproductive failure resulting the long-term behavioural changes as supported by the Cort-fitness hypothesis (Munck et al.
For example, the stress could be having a negative effect on his immune system. Research from Cohen et al (1993) has shown that life stress and negative emotions reduce the effectiveness of our immune system which leaves people more prone to viral infections and stress related illnesses, so this could possibly be the case for Hubert. For example,
Lupus Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body. Chronic means the signs and symptoms go wrong with your immune system, which is part of the body that fights off virus, bacteria, and germs. Lupus is also a disease of flares, (the symptoms worsen and you fill ill) and remissions (the symptoms improve and you feel better). The immune system goes into overdrive and can’t tell difference between some of the body’s normal, healthy cells and germs that can cause infection. So the immune system responds by making antibodies that attack the body’s normal cells.
E3 Meningitis is an infection that attacks the membranes which protect and surround the brain and spinal cord. This will then cause the membranes, the meninges, to inflame which can then, in some cases, damage the nerves and brain. Meningistis can effect anyone, however child whom are under the age of five, are most at risk. There are many symptoms for childrem who have meningitis, some of these symptoms are having a high fever, but have cold hands and feet, vomiting and refusing to feed, feeling agitated and not wanting to be picked up and becoming drowsy, floppy and unresponsive. There are two types of meningitis, bacterial and viral, bacterial is caused through close contact with someone whom has it, and viral is caused through virusses
“Meth causes the blood vessels to constrict; it cuts off the steady flow of blood to all parts of the body. Heavy usage can weaken and destroy these vessels, causing tissues to become prone to damage and inhibiting the body's ability to repair itself.” (Visible Signs, paragraph 1) A really big appearance change that happens when using this drug is the aging process. The body loses the elasticity and luster that causes you to look young in such a short amount of time. Another really bad thing that can happen to your body with all the Methamphetamine use is the hygiene of the mouth. “The drug causes the salivary glands to dry out, which allows the mouth's acids to eat away at the tooth enamel, causing cavities.” (Meth Mouth, second
What is stressful for one person may be pleasurable or have little effect on them and we all react to stress differently. Human beings were built to handle stress; we adapted the autonomic part of the nervous system to handle acute stressor, such as a physical alteration, job interview or even a tough anatomy test. The body would respond by releasing stress hormones, corticosteroids, these hormones would then give an immediate energy surge to the body. The hormones were meant for only short periods; when the body is under chronic stress these hormones start to cause damage to the body. Forty-three percent of all adults suffer adverse health effects from stress.
Other Contributing Factors Smoking Smoking causes vasoconstriction, leading to increase in blood pressure and damaged blood vessels. If have an existing hypertension, tobacco use can even worsen the condition. Better kick the habit NOW! Stress Anxiety and stress can temporarily raise your blood pressure. Science has not proven how stress causes HBP but some scientists believe that stress can affect a person’s behaviour towards health, decision-making and socioeconomic status.
Stress caused by| | |work can lead to headaches, high blood pressure, anxiety, loss of appetite, sleep deprivation, and many | | |other things. All of these symptoms have a direct toll on our overall health. When these symptoms become | | |chronic they wear down our immune systems and we can become sick.
