The alarm stage is the first stage that the body responds to a stressor,  and it prepares its defenses for action. The response the body takes during this stage is called the fight-or-flight response, this means that when presented with a stressor the body will either fight it off or flee from it. The second stage is the resistance stage, also called the adaption stage. The resistance stage, or adaption stage, is when the body is trying to repair any damages, restore spent energy, and the body is attempting to return to its original state. Lastly, the third stage is the exhaustion stage, in this stage the body decreases its heart rate and respiration in order to conserve bodily resources. ]]> 2017-09-06 13:51:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mfulcher0902/6ikmv5fmpc2h/wish/185117426 mfulcher0902 https://padlet.com/mfulcher0902/6ikmv5fmpc2h/wish/185124098 - Selye recognized that specific stressors, cause certain responses in the body. Over these specific responses though is a more general response to stress, Selye called this the general adaption syndrome (GAS), also called the stress response. During his research on the GAS syndrome Selye was led to believe that the way that the body responds to persistent stress is similar to an alarm clock that doesn't shut off until its energy is dangerously low. ]]> 2017-09-06 14:03:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mfulcher0902/6ikmv5fmpc2h/wish/185124098 mfulcher0902 https://padlet.com/mfulcher0902/6ikmv5fmpc2h/wish/185127521 I have a persistent cold, this cold is my stressor, during the first stage, alarm stage, of Selye's stages my body decides to fight the cold with the help of antibiotics from my physician. The cold decides to persist which leads me to the second stage, the resistance stage, my body is restoring all my energy, repairing any damages from the cold, and my body begins its attempt to return to its original state. The stressor, my cold, keeps persisting through this stage, leading me into the last stage, the exhaustion stage. In this stage my heart rate and breathing begin slowing down because my body is trying to conserve its resources. I have not been able to fight the disease off causing me to become exhausted and become sicker. ]]> 2017-09-06 14:09:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mfulcher0902/6ikmv5fmpc2h/wish/185127521
