7 0

Your gums are also known as your gingiva.

If they erupt you can have things such as inflammation or tearing of the gum.

Furthermore, an infection can occurs if it happens for an extended period of time.
This commonly occurs in people within the age group of about 17 to 25 years old. That's why we take out our wisdom teeth.

By the time you gain a little bit of wisdom, you start having all four of your third molars erupt right through your gingiva. You want to get them removed before you can have some type of bad reaction like inflammation or infection that can occur that can mess up the neighboring teeth that have erupted or grew out so well.

Many of the responses to stress are attributed to activation of the sympathetic nervous system and are mediated by

belka [17]

Answer:

Responses to stress are attributed to activation of the sympathetic nervous system and are mediated by adrenal medulla which is the central portion of the adrenal gland.

Explanation:

Stress is a physical, mental, and emotional response to a threat, and causes bodily and mental tension. There are different causes of stress, for example, an exam, a divorce, moving from a house, being fired, somebody’s death.

The body’s stress response is mediated by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) system. The SNS is responsible for the neural fight-or-flight response to stress.

In a stressful situation the hypothalamus, which is in charge of the stress response, sends signals to the pituitary gland and the adrenal medulla. The adrenal medulla secretes the neurotransmitters and hormones adrenaline and noradrenalin to the bloodstream. These hormones get the body ready for a response to stress, by increasing heart biting frequency and strength, increasing blood pressure, stimulating respiration, and dilating respiratory tracts.

Once the threat factor is over, the body gets back into a balanced state.
