Fight-or-flight response - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The flight or fight response, also called the "acute stress response", was first described by Walter Cannon in the [[ as a theory that animals react to threats with a general discharge of the sympathetic nervous system. They can either face the threat ("fight"), or they can avoid the threat ("flight"). The onset of a stress response is associated with specific physiological actions in the sympathetic nervous system, both directly and indirectly through the release of epinephrine and to a lesser extent norepinephrine from the medulla of the adrenal glands. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Fight_or_flight   (377 words)

fight or flight reaction. The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, Third Edition. 2002 These hormones prepare the body either to confront the attacking animal or to flee to safety (thus, “fight or flight”). For example, if a person is faced with danger (as from a vicious animal about to attack), the nervous system signals for adrenaline and other hormones to be released into the blood. Changes in the body include increased heart rate, dilated pupils of the eye (to improve vision), and increased supply of blood to the muscles (to prepare the body for action). www.bartleby.com /59/22/fightorfligh.html   (198 words)

Fight, Flight & Freeze The "freeze" reflex, like the "fight and flight" reflexes can be overridden by teaching the horse to lower the head, normalize the breathing and stroke the body with the wand to "connect" the body to the brain. While the "fight or flight" reflex is recognized the "freeze" reflex is one that is usually never considered. The "fight or flight" instinct is something we all recognize in horses and tend to just accept. www.lindatellington-jones.com /fightflightfreeze.shtml   (2315 words)

fight Fight-or-flight is an ancient sympathetic response pattern which, in the aquatic brain, accelerated heartbeat rate, raised blood-sugar level, and released hormones from the adrenal gland, preparing an alarmed fish to chase-and-bite, or to turn-tail-and-flee. The fight-or-flight response is coordinated by central command neurons in the hypothalamus and brain stem which "regulate the sympathetic outflow of both the stellate ganglion and the adrenal gland" (Jansen et al. : "I'm really interested on getting information about nonverbal language in aggressive people, fighting aggressors, flight-or-fight behavior, etc. I teach adrenaline conditioning training here in Mexico, and I really want to learn more to give more professional classes to my students. members.aol.com /nonverbal3/fight.htm   (477 words)

Terrorism's fight-or-flight And we are faced with the most basic of choices: the fight-or-flight choice.

A Review by The Phantom Tollbooth Fight or Flight refers to the Lord constantly, and never leaves you wondering whether or not it's for His glory. Fight of Flight really is an up-to-date album, quite unlike other sanctified dance albums. Whereas most Christian techno artists leave such things up to the listener, Antidote has said in the past that they like their music to include a message, and they are not the type of artists who would leave it out merely so DJ's will spin their records. www.tollbooth.org /review99/antidote.html   (560 words)

The Fight or Flight Response The "fight or flight response" is our body's primitive, automatic, inborn response that prepares the body to "fight" or "flee" from perceived attack, harm or threat to our survival. Our fight or flight response is designed to protect us from the proverbial saber tooth tigers that once lurked in the woods and fields around us, threatening our physical survival. When our fight or flight system is activated, we tend to perceive everything in our environment as a possible threat to our survival. www.thebodysoulconnection.com /EducationCenter/fight.html   (4400 words)

Stress and the Sexes If you've taken a psychology course in the past 50 years, you're familiar with the concept of "fight or flight" -- the supposedly automatic human stress response that has been linked to all sorts of health problems, including heart disease. While men will fight -- or simply hide -- women have a stronger instinct to "tend and befriend," says Shelley E. Taylor, PhD, a psychology professor at UCLA and author of The Tending Instinct. But new research -- drawing on psychology, genetics, evolutionary biology, and neuroscience -- shows that there are distinct differences in how men and women react to stressors or aggressors. www.webmd.com /content/article/48/39277.htm   (283 words)

Fight or Flight The story concept of "Fight or Flight" will seem pedestrian to some, but it's actually about the first time we got 1) a realistic look at what space exploration is all about, and 2) an episode in which the Enterprise crew is actually "exploring strange new worlds, seeking out new life and new civilizations...". "Fight or Flight" does a very good job of developing those characters and settings. It may not stay on top, and it isn't going to rank as one of the Star Trek franchise's best ever, but it easily eclipses the series premiere to capture, for now, this season's top spot. www.computercrowsnest.com /features/arc/2000/nz5892.php   (1233 words)

A Unique Female Stress Response: Tend-and-Befriend The human stress response coined, "fight or flight" by Walter Cannon in 1932 is a hormonal response characterized by the release of epinephrine and norepinephrine. Conversely, the male fight-or-flight response is characterized by the release of vasopressin. The male fight-or-flight response would not have been advantageous to the survival of females and their offspring because often the female would either be unable to fight or flee during pregnancy, or unable to protect their young if they were nursing or taking care of their young. www.personalityresearch.org /papers/mccarthy.html   (5953 words)

relax Patients who received behavioral and relaxation response treatment became indistinguishable from normal sleepers In fact, the 75 reduction in sleep-onset latency observed in the treated group is the highest ever reported in the literature. Specifically, the relaxation response has been demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, chronic pain, insomnia, anxiety, hostility, depression, premenstrual syndrome, infertility and the symptoms of both cancer and AIDS. The placebo effect is nonspecific and occurs as a result of three sets of beliefs: 1) the beliefs of the health care provider (the healer); 2) the beliefs of the patient; and 3) the beliefs that ensue from the relationship between healer and the patient. home1.inet.tele.dk /torlars/Peace/relax.htm   (2118 words)

The Fight or Flight Response The "fight or flight response" is our body's primitive, automatic, inborn response that prepares the body to "fight" or "flee" from perceived attack, harm or threat to our survival. The relaxation response corresponds to a physical portion of the brain (located in the hypothalamus) which—when triggered—sends out neurochemicals that almost precisely counteract the hypervigilant response of the fight or flight response. Our fight or flight response is designed to protect us from the proverbial saber tooth tigers that once lurked in the woods and fields around us, threatening our physical survival. www.thebodysoulconnection.com /EducationCenter/fight.html   (4400 words)

The Masterful Mind Discernment is a mastery response not a fight or flight response. We are to move away from the visceral and self-defeating reactions of the fight or flight response to the noble, practical, solution-focused and faith-filled responses of the sanctified believer. When the fight-or-flight response occurs blood flows to the hands and feet and away from the brain and huge shots of adrenalin and other hormones take over and the fast action control centers of the brain come into play and suddenly you are exploding at people, or running, or fighting. aibi.gospelcom.net /ebooks/BEQ/12mind.htm   (8032 words)

Trauma Information Pages, Articles: Yehuda et al (1997) In response to this question, 12/23 of the offspring spontaneously indicated that hearing about their parents' experiences in the Holocaust constituted their trauma (even though almost all of them had undergone extremely stressful events such as being mugged or assaulted, being in motor vehicle accidents, etc.). Importantly, the hypersuppression is the opposite of the nonsuppression response to dexamethasone observed in depression (Yehuda et al., 1991; Yehuda et al., in press b). The function of cortisol in response to stress is to shut down the other biological reactions that have been turned on in order to cope with the short term demands of a stressor (Munck et al., 1984). www.trauma-pages.com /yehuda97.htm   (6384 words)

Response to Stress It is when the "fight/flight" response occurs too frequently or is greatly prolonged that we begin to experience the negative effects of stress. The human body has an inborn, "pre-wired" response for dealing with dangerous situations - it is called the "fight or flight" response. Interestingly, when the parasympathetic division is active we experience something quite opposite from "fight/flight" --- parasympathetic activity results in a response of rest and relaxation. www.healthed.msu.edu /fact/stress_response.shtml   (212 words)

Psybersquare: The Fight or Flight Response This is a primitive response called the "Fight or Flight" response. This is the psychological birth of a panic attack: a fight/flight response with nowhere to fly and no one to fight, given our unawareness of the enemy.
