• Pituitary glands: Mainly regulate other glands, not direct stress - blood sugar regulation.
• Thyroid glands: Regulate metabolism, not stress - induced blood sugar increase.
• Adrenal glands: Produce hormones like cortisol and adrenaline during stress, which increase blood sugar for energy.
• Thymus glands: Involved in immune system development, not blood sugar regulation in stress.

• General Adaptation Syndrome: Proposed by Hans Selye, describes the body's 3 - stage response to stress (alarm, resistance, exhaustion).
• Generalized Anxiety Disorder: A mental health disorder, not a stress response model.
• Season Affective Disorder: Related to seasonal mood changes, not stress response.
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A gastrointestinal disorder, not a stress response model.
