  1. Sympathetic Neuron Releases norepineprhine onto these tissues Adrenal Gland epinephrine Alarm Phase:Catecholamines: epinephrine and norepineprhine

  2. STRESS hypothalamus pituitary adrenal Glucocorticoids (cortisol, corticosterone

  4. Effects of Glucocorticoids Emergency Life History Stage • Increase circulating glucose • Suppress the immune system • Suppress reproductive behavior • Suppress growth • Multiple behavioral effects, dependent on species… • e.g. • Induce territory abandonment • Increase foraging • Reduce parental care

  5. The stress responsealarm and resistance • Maximizes glucose in the blood • Maximizes glucose and oxygen delivery to critical tissues • Shuts down non-critical activities (redirects physiology and behavior) • Digestion • Reproduction • Growth

  6. glucose mobilization Breakdown of protein to make glucose Inhibit immune system Decreased parental care Decrease reproduction Energy depletion Muscle wasting Increase parasite load, can’t fight disease, infection Loss of young Total loss of fitness for the season Acute Responses to Stress Chronic Stimulation

  9. Energy and Homeostasis: Definitions • Homeostasis: maintenance of basic systems essential for life: pH, glucose, temp, salts, oxygen • But: homeostasis must be supported as environmental conditions or life history stage changes……SO: • Basic—maintenance of basic systems • Regulated— homeostasis through life history changes • Facultative— homeostasis under non-ideal conditions or unpredictable changes • Stress: when energy required to maintain homeostasis is greater than the energy available (negative energy balance)
