The document discusses the body's stress response and how it relates to fatigue and disease. It outlines the learning outcomes which are to understand the stress response, identify stressors, and relate stress to fatigue. It then describes the physiological effects of the stress response, such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, and oxygen in order to mobilize energy stores and fuel the body. Finally, it summarizes that the stress response differs between individuals and affects all body systems, including the immune and nervous systems, and can be caused by both external and internal positive and negative stressors.
