Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The resistance phase is the general adaptation stage where the body begins to cope with the stressor, and its physiological responses stabilize. It is characterized by the restoration of the body to normal levels of functioning, as it attempts to adapt to the stressor. The alarm phase is the initial reaction to the stressor, while the exhaustion phase is the last phase when the body's physiological resources are depleted, and the response to the stressor declines. The response stage is not a recognized stage in the general adaptation syndrome model of stress.
