Answer 2

The general adaptation syndrome response includes (A) alarm, resistance, and exhaustion.

Explanation:

GAS (General Adaptation Syndrome) is the three-stage process that describes the physiological changes the body goes through when under stress.

Stages:

There are three stages of GAS,

• The Alarm Reaction
• The Stage of Resistance
• Stage of Exhaustion

Alarm:

• The first reaction to stress.

• The body releases stress hormones, including cortisol.

Resistance:

• After a period of chronic stress, the body adapts to the ongoing threat and tries to return to its normal functions.

• Glucose levels increase to sustain energy, and blood pressure increases

Exhaustion:

• In this stage, the body has run out of its reserves of energy and immunity.

• Blood sugar levels decrease, leading to decreased stress tolerance, progressive mental and physical exhaustion, illness, and collapse.

• The body's organs begin to fail, and eventually, illness or death occurs.
