Back 38

countershock

Front 39

Describe the alarm reaction stage of the general adaptation syndrome.

Back 39

Front 40

The Body attempts to adapt to a stressor under what stage of the general adaptation syndrome?

Back 40

the resistance stage

Front 41

If the location and severity of stress is confined, what happens to the body in the resistance stage of the general adaptation syndrome?

Back 41

The body regains homeostasis

Front 42

True or false: the body can regain homeostasis in the alarm stage of the general adaptation syndrome.

Back 42

false. the body can regain homeostasis under the resistance stage of the general adaptation syndrome if the location and severity of the stress is confined. The body can also return to a normal state in the exhaustion stage of the GAS.
