-physiological (or ‘biological’) stress is an organism’s response to a ‘stressor’ (such as an ‘environmental condition’)-
.
(‘stress’ is a body’s method of reacting to a ‘challenge’)
(according to the ‘stressful event’, the body’s way to respond to ‘stress’ is by ‘sympathetic nervous system activation’ which results in the ‘fight-or-flight response’)
(because the body can not keep this state for long periods of time, the ‘parasympathetic system’ returns the body’s physiological conditions to ‘normal’ (/ ‘homeostasis’))
.
(in ‘humans’, ‘stress’ typically describes a negative condition that can affect a person’s ‘mental’ + ‘physical’ well-being)
