Subject:
Psychology [1]
Discuss Two Effects of the Environment on Physiological Processes Physiological processes in the glands and nervous system play a pivotal role in behavior. These processes are in turn influenced by environmental stimuli. Environmental influences on physiological processes are most likely to be detrimental if the organism is over- or understimulated. The purpose of this essay is to discuss the effect of two extreme and divergent environmental influences on physiological processes. On the one hand the effect of environmental stressors on the nervous and endocrine systems, and on the other hand the effect of deprivation on neuroplasticity.
