– Combat allergic reactions and produce inflammation
• Adrenaline is released which provides fuel for the fight-or-flight reaction
![Page 29: Psych 200 Health Psychology](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54c77d764a7959f6208b456b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

![Page 32: Psych 200 Health Psychology](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54c77d764a7959f6208b456b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

– Allergies, hives, coronary heart disease, ultimately death
![Page 33: Psych 200 Health Psychology](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54c77d764a7959f6208b456b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

kills pathogens– Remembering antibodies used to battle antigens– Inflammation – increases leukocytes sent to the
injured area

Stress and the Immune SystemStress and the Immune System
• Stress stimulates production of steroids– Steroids interfere with the formation of antibodies
and decrease inflammation• Dental students had lower immune system
functioning during stressful periods of school year– Student with friends showed less suppression
