ABSTRACT

Disease is the result from the interaction by several factors, external (viruses, bacteria, toxins and chemicals), others natural or pertaining human natural (from genetic to emotional) and other psycho-social factors. Stress is a major health issue in the modern world. Interaction primarily occurs throughout the central nervous system, the endocrine system and the immunologic apparatus. Interaction works through conditioned responses traveling in both directions from and to the limbic system, the hypothalamus-hypophysis suprarenal axis, beside of anatomic relationship between cerebral cortex, amygdale, brain stem, the autonomous nervous system and finally, the lymphatic organs, the spleen and ganglia, lymphocytes and macrophages.
This paper analyses the implicated neural systems located in the cortex, sub-cortical nuclei and the brain stem. In addition, analysis is given about the chemical mediators that intervene in modulating the response of various tissues, hormone secretion, paracrine secretions such as the vasoactive polypeptide, production of proteic mediators such as the interleukins and finally, the activation of secondary messengers beneath the cell membrane.
