Question 1 of 10

1. Question
Which of the following is a factor that determines the magnitude of HPA response to stress?
- a. Unpredictable nature of event.
- b. Perceived threat to body or ego.
- c. Sense of loss of control.
- d. All of the above.
Correct

Incorrect
Question 2 of 10

2. Question
Bright light exposure during the day helps to regulate cortisol levels and balance the HPA axis, and this anchors light and your circadian rhythm.
- a. True. Daytime light exposure causes light at night to have less of an effect on shifting circadian rhythms.
- b. False. Regardless of daytime exposure, night light has the same impact on shifting circadian rhythms.
Correct

Incorrect
Question 3 of 10

3. Question
How does the body protect itself from chronically elevated cortisol levels?
- a. Downregulating the HPA axis.
- b. Reducing cortisol production.
- c. Downregulating expression of glucocorticoid receptors.
- d. All of the above.
Correct

Incorrect
Question 4 of 10

4. Question
Overstimulation of our sympathetic nervous system is a major causative factor of stress-related disease.
- a. True. We rarely discharge the buildup of stress hormones and neurotransmitters that are flowing through our body to get us ready for fight or flight, causing harmful buildup.
- b. False. Stress-related disorders rarely impact the sympathetic nervous system for long, instead causing neurochemical imbalances that are often not diagnosed.
Correct

5. Question
Which work shift is the worst for the HPA axis and circadian rhythm?
- a. Night shifts
- b. Morning shifts
- c. Alternating shifts
- d. A & C
Correct

Incorrect
Question 6 of 10

6. Question
There’s a bidirectional relationship between the HPA axis and metabolic functions where dysregulation in one harms the other and leads to a vicious cycle.
- a. True. Factors that cause glycemic dysregulation, like poor diet, lack of sleep, or lack of exercise, will also dysregulate the HPA axis, which, in turn, causes glycemic dysregulation.
- b. False. While glycemic dysregulation can harm HPA axis balance, the HPA axis does not impact metabolic systems when harmed by other factors originally.
Correct

Incorrect

7. Question
Which test is one of the most reliable measures of HPA axis responsiveness or function?
- a. Morning free cortisol test
- b. TSH
- c. Norepinephrine levels
- d. Insulin tolerance test
Correct
