State
This capstone traces one stress response from an initial threat through both nervous and endocrine mechanisms, drawing together this unit's autonomic, hormonal, and feedback atoms into a single sequence.
Watch for
Treating the fight-or-flight response as a single event is the error here — it layers a fast neural reaction and a slower hormonal one on different timescales, and mistaking the second for a delayed copy of the first misses why chronic stress, which keeps the slower system running, causes different harm than a single acute scare.
