Reading 1.2 Stress Response
Stress response is the collection of physiological changes that happen when
you face an apparent threat from stressors. When your stress triggered,
series of changes occur within your body; physical, emotional and behavioural
changes.
Stress is associated with physical symptoms like low energy,
headaches, stomach upset, muscle pains, chest pains, rapid heartbeat,
insomnia, frequent colds and infections, and loss of sexual desire and/or
ability. It is also associated with emotional symptoms like impatience or
irritability, feeling overwhelmed, feeling bad about himself, restless,
frustrated, and moody. Stress has also behavioral symptoms like over or
under-eating, sleeping too much or too little, social withdrawal and isolation,
reduced work efficiency or productivity, and using cigarette, alcohol or drugs
to relax.
Indeed, stress can truly affect your body, your thoughts, feelings,
and your performance. Being able to recognize common stress symptoms can
give you a way on how to manage them.

The man’s mind is the most complex technology on Earth. It is the
source of all thoughts and behaviour. It embraces the power of imagination,

appreciation, recognition, and is accountable for processing one’s feelings

What is It
Self-Test 2.1
1. As you were thinking of solutions to the puzzles, what
was going on inside
you?
2. What organ in your body was working?
The cerebellum, the cerebrum and the brain stem are the three parts
of the brain. Each part controls a specific activity. The brain stem connects
the spinal cord and the brain. It controls functions that keep people alive such
as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure and food digestion. Those activities
occur without any thought. It functions without being told.
Activities are different in the cerebellum. This part controls voluntary
movement. When you want to lift your fork, wave your hand, brush your hair
or wink at a cutie, you form the thought and then an area in the cerebellum
translates your will into action. It happens so quickly.
Neurons, the basic functional units of the nervous system, are
threepart units and are key to brain function. They are comprised of a nerve
cell body, axon and dendrite, and they power the rapid-fire process that turns
thought into movement.
The thought moves as an electrical signal from the nerve cell down
the axon to a dendrite, which looks like branches at the end of nerve cells.
The signal jumps from the end of the dendrite on one cell across the space,
called a synapse, to the dendrite of another cell with the help of chemicals
called neurotransmitters. That signal continues jumping from cell to cell until it
reaches the muscle you need to wave, wink or walk.
The cerebrum is the center of intelligence. It is the largest of the
three brain sections, accounts for about 85% of the brain’s weight, and has
four lobes. The frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital lobes –each have
different functions. They get their names from the sections of the skull that are
next to them.
The parietal lobe helps people understand what they see and feel,
while the frontal lobe determines personality and emotions. Vision functions
are located in the occipital lobe, and hearing and word recognition abilities are
in the temporal lobe.
Because the brain’s healthy functioning is essential to living and
determines quality of life, doctors emphasize protecting the organ from injury
and chemical abuse.

Reading 2.3 Mind Mapping
Many people think of the brain as a mystery, They don’t know much
about intelligence and how it works. When they do think about what
16
intelligence is, most people believe that a person is born either smart,
average, or dumb – and stays that way for life. But new research show
that a brain is like a muscle – it varies and gets stronger when you use
it. And scientist have been able to show just how the brain grows and
gets stronger when you learn. Everyone knows that when you lift
weights, your muscles get bigger and you get stronger. But most people
don’t know that when they practice and learn new things, parts of their
brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise.
Inside the cortex of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells,
called neurons. The nerve cells have branches connecting them to
other cells in a complicated network. Communication between these
brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems. When you
learn new things, these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply
and get stronger. The more that you challenge your mind to learn, the
more your brain cells grow resulting to a stronger, smarter brain.
Practice is the key to growing the brain!

If you have more “YES” answers from the left column, you are
probably left-brain dominant, while if you have more “YES” answers from the
right column, you are probably right-brain dominant.

Activity : My Reflection
Read the given selection and write a reflection about the “ Myth of
Michael Jordan” in your journal notebook.
Reading: THE MYTH OF MICHAEL JORDAN
Michael Jordan is one of the best basketball players of all times. His
average point per game is the highest in NBA history –31.5. He is one of the
19
players to score more than 3000 points in a single season. And he has 11
MVP awards – five for the regular season and six for the finals
It was dazzling to watch Jordan play. People often spoke of his grace
on the court. They talked about his natural abilities. But the true story is
different. When he was a sophomore student in high school, Michael Jordan
didn’t even make the theme. “It was embarrassing not making the team,” he
says. “They posted the roster (list of players) an it was there for a long, long
time without my name on it. I remember being really mad too, because there
was a guy who made it that wasn’t as good as me. “Someone else might have
sucked, or quit”. But this setback only fuelled Jordan’s desire to improve.
“Whenever I was working out and got tired and figured I ought to stop, I’d
close my eyes and see that list in the locker room without my name on it,”
Jordan says, “ and that usually got me going again.
The physical education teacher of Jordan’s high school, Ruby Sutton,
describes Jordan’s commitment to the game in those days, I would normally
got to school between 7:00 and 7:30. Michael would be at school before I
would.
Every time I’d come in and open these doors, I’d hear the basketball. Fall,
wintertime, summertime. Most mornings I had to run Michael out of the gym.”
