Question 3

Correct Answer:

Verified

According to the general adaptation syndrome,there are three stages of physical response to stress.The first stage is called the alarm stage.This is an emergency reaction to a stressor and it prepares the body for an immediate response,such as flight or fight.The moment you were notified of the threat of invasion,your body entered stage 1.Because this stressor is ongoing,you are probably now in the resistance stage.At this point,your body is preparing for a longer,more sustained defense against the stress.Your immunity to infection and diseases will increase somewhat at this stage.If you are exposed to this threat of invasion for quite some time,you will enter the phase of exhaustion.At this point,the body's ability to fight stress will start to decline.Various physiological systems will begin to fail and you will become more susceptible to colds and other illnesses.
