C) Distress is stress that disrupts homeostasis. D) The stress response is controlled primarily by the medulla oblongata. E) The stress response occurs in fight-or-flight, resistance and exhaustion stages. ____ 79. The fight-or-flight response A) is the body’s immediate response to a real or perceived threat to survival. B) elevates heart and respiration rates and blood glucose level.
