The nervous system stress response overview explains how our body's internal communication systems work together to maintain balance and respond to stressors, featuring both neural and hormonal components.
Key aspects include:
- Integration of central and peripheral nervous systems for information processing
- Hormonal regulation in fight or flight mechanism through endocrine system
- Parasympathetic and sympathetic state functions in maintaining homeostasis
- Neuronal communication through electrical and chemical transmission
- Brain structure and functional specialization
