|
response to stress
|
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a disturbance in organismal or cellular homeostasis, usually, but not necessarily, exogenous (e.g. temperature, humidity, ionizing radiation). |
GO:0044699
|
single-organism process
|
A biological process that involves only one organism. |
GO:0008150
|
biological_process
|
Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. |
GO:0050896
|
response to stimulus
|
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus. The process begins with detection of the stimulus and ends with a change in state or activity or the cell or organism. |
GO:0044707
|
single-multicellular organism process
|
A biological process occurring within a single, multicellular organism. |
GO:0032501
|
multicellular organismal process
|
Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. |
GO:0007610
|
behavior
|
The internally coordinated responses (actions or inactions) of whole living organisms (individuals or groups) to internal or external stimuli. |
GO:0044708
|
single-organism behavior
|
The specific behavior of a single organism in response to external or internal stimuli. |
GO:0033555
|
multicellular organismal response to stress
|
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a multicellular organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus indicating the organism is under stress. The stress is usually, but not necessarily, exogenous (e.g. temperature, humidity, ionizing radiation). |
GO:0051866
|
general adaptation syndrome
|
General adaptation syndrome is the set of changes in various organ systems of the body, especially the pituitary-endocrine system, in response to a wide range of strong external stimuli, both physiological and psychological. It is described as having three stages: alarm reaction, where the body detects the external stimulus; adaptation, where the body engages defensive countermeasures against the stressor; and exhaustion, where the body begins to run out of defenses. |
GO:0051867
|
general adaptation syndrome, behavioral process
|
The set of behavioral processes that occur as part of the general adaptation syndrome, the response of the body to a strong, stressful stimulus. |
