The physiological stress is mainly due to adequate response generated by the cells when it is subjected to a specific stressor (environmental cues or a stimulus) so that sympathetic responses such as high BP, tachycardia, sweating of palms are due to flight and fight response and endocrine response. Therefore, the cells of the human body are going to retain its normal position via an adaptation mechanism. These specific stressors are going to trigger variable physiological responses within the cell sometimes leading to cell death.
The relationship of physiological stress with the psychological stress is mainly involves emotional responses under specific stressor generating specific retaining difficulty or difficulty in coping with a specific cue or stimulus. The physiological stress (eustress or distress) responses are leading to psychological responses (nervous system, endocrine system) such as behavioral, emotional and cognitive alterations.
Thus, the options (a), (c) and (d) are incorrect.
The physiological stress is mainly due to adequate response generated by the cells when it is subjected to a specific stressor (environmental cues or a stimulus) so that sympathetic responses such as high BP, tachycardia, sweating of palms are due to flight and fight response and endocrine response.
Therefore, the correct option is – b). increased sympathetic nervous system activity.
