In this reaction, involving almost all organs and body functions, including brain, nerves, heart, blood flow, hormone levels, digestion and muscle function.

" The physiological result of this process is a desire to flee from the situation that causes or violent confrontations.
Stress is caused by the body's instinct to protect himself "this instinct is good in emergencies, but if this continues for long periods may cause physical symptoms that can damage our body. Any event that generates an emotional response can cause stress. This includes both positive situations (birth of a child, marriage) and negative (job loss, death of a relative). Stress also arises from minor irritations, such as waiting too long in a queue or in traffic. Situations that cause stress in a person may be insignificant to another.
