Our new topic - Physiological Psychology: Stress - begins with a look at the biological changes that we call a 'stress response'. Your textbook gives you lots of background detail about the brain, nervous and endocrine (hormone) systems - this is useful if you enjoy biology, but you won't be asked directly about it. What you do need to be able to do is describe two ways in which the body responds to stress - the acute (short term) and chronic (long term) stress response systems.
Learn the details of these for a test on Friday.
Here is the presentation from the lesson.
