The human body responds to stressors in unique way. The hypothalamus gland alerts the adrenal glands to produce more hormones called as cortisol and adrenaline into the bloodstream. These hormones make certain changes in the body like increased heart rate, metabolic rate, breathing rate and blood pressure; they also put muscles on alert. The liver also releases some of the stored glucose to increase the energy in the body. The sweating is produced to cool down the body. All these changes are known as stress impact.
External stressors
Some factors like social interaction with people, physical environment and life events that you have no control like death or mis-happening in the family may bring stress to one’s mind. When one is being bullied or exposed to the injury or violence may get stress.
Other factors like danger, loneliness, crowding and isolation are not ignorable. Financial troubles, love affairs and failure in examination or interview may put the person in trouble and may invite stress.
