[Stress mechanisms and pharmacological stressor blockade]

A biomedicine approach to stress mechanisms is developed. Stress, stages are illustrated as symbolic gear transmissions. Stressor transit through the organism leads to final stage characterized by behavioral changes. Anticholinergic and antiadrenergic agents may be used to investigate stressor pathway. This kind of research suggest that the stressor goes into the hypothalamic region through the cholinergic system and goes out of it through and adrenergic pathway. The third ventricle occupying the hypothalamic region is the location where orders for stress response can be traced.
