StressorIn order to function, your body needs a certain amount os stress. Stress is natural, and is triggered by many different types of things. These triggers of stress are called STRESSORS. Stressors can take the form of events, place, and objects.

STRESS

Fight or FlightWhen you come into contact with a stressor, your body begins to produce a chemical called ADRENALINE.Adrenaline makes your heart beat faster and speeds up blood flow to your brain and muscles. It also sends more oxygen through your body by causing you to breathe faster. Adrenaline gives your body extra strength to protect itself from harm and added speed to flee from danger. This sudden burst of energy is sometimes called the fight or flight response. Once a stressor has been removed or dealt with, your body stops making adrenaline and returns to normal.

STRESS
