Question
Chapter 40, Problem 10TYS
Summary Introduction
Concept introduction: Hans Selye defined the general adaptation syndrome (GAS) as the ways in which the body responds to a stress. Usually the body responds in three predictable changes namely-alarm stages, resistance stage, and exhaustion stage.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 10TYS
Correct answer: Selye’s general adaptation syndrome (GAS) consists of an alarm reaction followed by resistance, then exhaustion.
Explanation of Solution
The first stage in Selye’s general adaptation syndrome (GAS) is an alarm stage, which provides a burst of energy when the body responds to the stress signal sent to the hypothalamus.
In the second resistance stage, the body tries to adapt or resist the change made by the stressor molecule. In the final exhaustion stage, the energy produced by the body is depleted.
