Response Efficacy Belief

Stress
This virus, if found with a high antibody count, signals for a compromised immune systems
Herpes Virus
This term is to describe procedures that investigate biological process in a controlled labratory setting
In vitro
This system is active during rest and digestion, resulting in; the constriction of the pupils, slowing of the heart, decreasing of breathing rate, and increasing digestive activity.
Parasympathetic Nervous System
Cost-gain belief
The dynamic of physiological response to maintain a stable internal state in spite of the demands of the environment can be defined as?
Homeostasis
This measure of immunocompetence is the process of measuring cell count; either by looking at the minimum number of cells required, or the ratios of different cell types.
Enumerative Assay
A situation in which patients are unable to participate in their care or make decisions because of their medical condition
Active-Passive Model of Interaction
The release of this hormone from the pancreas results in the body's cells to absorb glucose so that it can be used for energy
Insulin
This theory has a proposition that there are three main sources of intention; attitudes towards behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control.
The Theory of Planned Behavior
Strategies that are emploted to deal with stresses caused by the ever changing demands of the environment are?
Coping Strategies
The process by which experience has permanent effects on the expression of the genetic code.
Biological Embedding
These cells protect against cancer. The activity of these cells are affected by psychological factors under stress
NK Cells
Predisposing factors interacting with stressors to trigger a stress response is known as which model
Stres-Diathesis Model
List the "stages" of the Transtheoretical Model of Change
Pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, termination, and relapse.
This system initiates the fight-or-flight response via the hypothalamus engaging the sympathetic nervous system to stimulate the adrenal medulla, resulting in the release of catecholamines such as adrenaline and noradrenaline.

This model proposes that the gap between intention and behavior is addressed by an implementable plan. That those with an implementation plan are more likely to engage in a specific behavior.
Gollwitzer's Implementation Intention Model
Alarm, Resistance, and Exhaustion
These increase the body's capacity to produce inflammation
Cytokines
The initial evaluation of a situation, can result in three kinds; irrelevant, benign-positive, and stressful.
Primary Cognitive Appraisals
The measures of physiological processses with the aim to modify them
Biofeedback
