THE HYPOTHALAMUS AND THE PITUITARY GLAND

INSIDE THE PITUITARY GLAND
![Page 5: STRESS, FEAR, AND THE FIGHT OR FLIGHT RESPONSE. FIGHT OR FLIGHT OVERVIEW AMYGDALA HYPOTHALAMUS PITUITARY GLAND ADRENAL GLAND THROUGHOUT BODY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/551bfaee550346b24f8b492f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Incoming info into Thalamus• Signal sent to Amygdila
(decodes emotions)• Transmitted to Hypothalamus
(Responds by initiation F or F)• Hypo. sends nerve impulse down spine• Hypo. activates Pituitary gland
(Releases Hormone – ACTH)
THE BRAIN

THE ADRENAL GLAND AND INSIDE

EPINEPHRINE SPREADS THROUGH THE BODY
![Page 8: STRESS, FEAR, AND THE FIGHT OR FLIGHT RESPONSE. FIGHT OR FLIGHT OVERVIEW AMYGDALA HYPOTHALAMUS PITUITARY GLAND ADRENAL GLAND THROUGHOUT BODY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/551bfaee550346b24f8b492f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Nerve impulse from Hypo./ ACTH both reach Adrenal• Nerve impulse signals chromofin cells – Epinephrine• ACTH signals cells to produce Cortisol• Both chemicals released from Adrenal gland• Cortisol raises blood sugar (Frees fatty acids)• Epinephrine reaches liver (Increases glucose
production – more potential energy – ATP)– Reaches lungs (relaxes muscles/increases respiration
(more O2 for muscles)– Reaches Heart (Beats faster – circulates energy faster)
THE BODY
![Page 9: STRESS, FEAR, AND THE FIGHT OR FLIGHT RESPONSE. FIGHT OR FLIGHT OVERVIEW AMYGDALA HYPOTHALAMUS PITUITARY GLAND ADRENAL GLAND THROUGHOUT BODY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/551bfaee550346b24f8b492f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
FIGHT OR FLIGHT OVERVIEW
Brain receives/sends signals to pituitary
Pituitary releases messengers to Adrenal
Adrenal produces Epinephrine and Cortisol
Cortisol frees fatty acids/raises sugar
Adrenaline increases resp. allows more o2/energy (ATP)

WHAT IS FEAR?
![Page 11: STRESS, FEAR, AND THE FIGHT OR FLIGHT RESPONSE. FIGHT OR FLIGHT OVERVIEW AMYGDALA HYPOTHALAMUS PITUITARY GLAND ADRENAL GLAND THROUGHOUT BODY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/551bfaee550346b24f8b492f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Thalamus - decides where to send incoming sensory data (from eyes, ears, mouth, skin)
Sensory cortex - interprets sensory data
Hippocampus - stores and retrieves conscious memories; processes sets of stimuli to establish context
Amygdala - decodes emotions; determines possible threat; stores fear memories
Hypothalamus - activates "fight or flight" response

PATHS OF FEAR
![Page 12: STRESS, FEAR, AND THE FIGHT OR FLIGHT RESPONSE. FIGHT OR FLIGHT OVERVIEW AMYGDALA HYPOTHALAMUS PITUITARY GLAND ADRENAL GLAND THROUGHOUT BODY.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062303/551bfaee550346b24f8b492f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Increase Heart rate• Pupils dilate (take in light)• Veins in skin tighten – allow flow
to major muscles (chills – less blood in skin)• Muscles tense (goose bumps)• Focus on immediate
SO WHAT DOES THIS RESPONSE LOOK LIKE?
