Abstract
The human organism is a biophysical system. Stress represents a normal reaction of the organism which appears as a response to an aggression situation which requires an unusual and quick adaptation effort from the organism. Stress is a state of putting in alert, of mobilizing the forces of the organism in the occasion of an event which requires, in order to be kept under control, a big amount of energy in a very short time. This alert state or action preparation translated through physical and psychological manifestations. In higher-level living organisms the following forms of regulation are known: biological, nervous, hormonal, humoral and immune regulation. In the case of humans, psychic regulation also appears due to the existence of psychic activity. We study only two forms of the stress: fear and death. We present different biophysical modeling aspects. The stress in the human organism is a perturbation. This perturbation is regulates by negative feedback.
Highlights
The Biopsychical system „Mens sana in corpore sano” – that is „a sound mind in a sound body” points to the inseparable unity of the biological and psychical nature of the man
Examples of allostatic load are the adverse effects of job strain on the cardiovascular system and the inhibition of cellular immunity resulting from chronic stress
Summary Stress is the non-specific response of the living organism to a stressor
Summary
The Biopsychical system „Mens sana in corpore sano” – that is „a sound mind in a sound body” points to the inseparable unity of the biological and psychical nature of the man. „Allostatic load” is the cumulative cost of the organism on going to repeated cycles of adaptation, a long-term effect of the physiological response to stress with possible adverse outcomes on various systems leading to disease.
