Our general response to stress is called the general adaptation syndrome, or stress response. He also recognized that this syndrome consists of three stages, alarm stage, resistance stage, and exhaustion stage. The alarm stage is the bodies first response to a stressor. An example of this stage is the flight or fight response. The resistance stage is where the body attempts to return to is normal biological state. The exhaustion stage allows for the heart rate and respiration to decrease to conserve bodily resources.]]> 2017-11-06 02:14:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kbyron0111/igvctxi0ijrc/wish/203717440 kbyron0111 https://padlet.com/kbyron0111/igvctxi0ijrc/wish/203720490 Imagine your plane crashes in the middle of Alaska. Your immediate response, in the alarm stage, would be fight or flight. You are stranded in the cold with little to no food, no option to call for help, and you have to be able to stay warm. While out in the cold, your body begins to enter the resistance stage. You begin fighting hypothermia and your body tries it's best to regulate it's temperature. This is an example situation which happens when you continue to stress about something, your body tries to return to it's normal state, but it is extremely hard when the stressor is still there. The third stage is exhaustion. You've been freezing for a week. Your body begins to slow down in order to protect itself. ]]> 2017-11-06 02:42:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kbyron0111/igvctxi0ijrc/wish/203720490
