Here are 12 clear questions about the effects of stress on the body you can use for study, a quiz, or discussion:
1. What is the difference between acute and chronic stress, and how do their effects on the body differ?
2. How does activation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis change cortisol levels and what are the downstream physical effects?
3. How does activation of the sympathetic nervous system during stress affect heart rate, blood pressure, and cardiovascular risk?
4. In what ways does chronic stress alter immune function and inflammation?
5. How can stress contribute to gastrointestinal symptoms and disorders (e.g., irritable bowel syndrome, dyspepsia)?
6. What effects does stress have on sleep architecture and circadian rhythms, and how does disturbed sleep feed back on stress?
7. How does long-term stress influence metabolism, appetite, body fat distribution, and the risk of insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes?
8. How does stress affect reproductive hormones, menstrual cycles, libido, and fertility in men and women?
9. What are the cognitive effects of stress (e.g., on attention, working memory, decision-making), and what brain regions are involved?
10. How does stress contribute to musculoskeletal problems such as tension headaches, neck and back pain, and increased muscle tension?
11. How does stress affect the skin and wound healing (e.g., acne, eczema, psoriasis, slower healing)?
12. How do stress-related behaviors (smoking, alcohol use, poor diet, physical inactivity) mediate the relationship between stress and physical disease?
