Question 1

During the alarm reaction of the general adaptation syndrome,all of the following occur EXCEPT for the

Accepted Answer

During the alarm reaction, the body responds automatically, mobilizes its defenses against stress, and presents symptoms such as headache, fever, aching muscles and joints, and lack of energy. However, hormone output from the adrenal glands increases, not decreases, during the alarm reaction, as the adrenal glands release adrenaline and cortisol to prepare the body for the stress response.

Question 2

The correct order of the stages in the general adaptation syndrome (G.A.S. )are the

Accepted Answer

The correct order of the stages in the general adaptation syndrome (G.A.S.) are the alarm reaction, the stage of resistance, and the stage of exhaustion. The activation phase and maintenance reaction do not correspond with the stages of G.A.S., and the stage of resolution is not part of the syndrome.

Question 3

Symptoms such as shortness of breath,headache,sore muscles,upset stomach,and a lack of energy are characteristic of which stage of the general adaptation syndrome?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Symptoms such as shortness of breath,headache,sore muscles,upset...

Question 4

Physical symptoms in the earliest stage of the general adaptation syndrome are similar to those during

Accepted Answer

The earliest stage of the general adaptation syndrome, known as the alarm phase, is characterized by physical symptoms such as increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and increased levels of stress hormones. These symptoms are similar to those that occur during any disease or trauma.

Question 5

During which stage of the general adaptation syndrome does the pituitary gland signal the adrenal glands to produce more adrenaline,noradrenaline,and cortisol with these stress hormones being dumped into the bloodstream with some bodily processes speeding up and others slowing down?

Accepted Answer

This stage is called the alarm reaction, and it is characterized by the activation of the sympathetic nervous system and the release of adrenaline, noradrenaline, and cortisol from the adrenal glands. This leads to increased heart rate, respiration, and blood pressure, while digestive and immune functions slow down.

Question 6

Hans Selye noticed that the body initially reacts the same way to a steamy romance,starting a new job,or having trouble at school as it does to which of the following?

Accepted Answer

Hans Selye's concept of the "general adaptation syndrome" refers to the body's response to stressors, which initially includes the activation of the sympathetic nervous system and release of stress hormones. This response is not specific to any particular stressor, and is similar whether the stressor is a physical injury, infection, or any other type of stressor. Therefore, the best choice is D) an infection or physical injury.

Question 7

The alarm reaction,the stage of resistance,and the stage of exhaustion are the three stages of the

Accepted Answer

The three stages mentioned (alarm reaction, stage of resistance, and stage of exhaustion) are all part of the general adaptation syndrome, which is a model proposed by Hans Selye to explain how the body responds to stress. The other options (A, B, and D) are unrelated to the general adaptation syndrome.

Question 8

Regarding stress and stress reactions,which of the following statements is FALSE?

Accepted Answer

Activities that provoke eustress are actually perceived as positive and can lead to feelings of excitement and motivation, rather than being threatening and unpleasant.

Question 9

During the alarm reaction of the general adaptation syndrome,the body mobilizes its resources to cope with added stress by the pituitary gland signaling the adrenal glands to produce more adrenaline,noradrenaline,and

Accepted Answer

During the alarm reaction, the pituitary gland signals the adrenal glands to release cortisol, which helps mobilize energy reserves and suppress the immune system's response to stress. Adrenaline and noradrenaline are also released, but cortisol is the primary hormone associated with this stage of the general adaptation syndrome. Acetylcholine, serotonin, and dopamine do not play significant roles in the alarm reaction.

Question 10

The symptoms that occur during stressful travel,high-altitude sickness,final exams week,and (possibly)of falling in love are similar to the symptoms of which stage of the general adaptation syndrome?

Accepted Answer

The symptoms described in the question are similar to those experienced during the alarm reaction stage of the general adaptation syndrome, which is the body's initial response to a stressor. During this stage, the body mobilizes its resources to respond to the stressor, resulting in symptoms such as increased heart rate, rapid breathing, and the release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline.

Question 11

New situations that cause a short-term stress reaction are

Accepted Answer

New situations that cause a short-term stress reaction can be uncomfortable, but they rarely do any damage. These situations can include public speaking, taking an exam, or meeting new people. While they may be uncomfortable, they are usually not dangerous and do not cause long-term physical changes.

Question 12

Mitch has just found out that he will have three tests on the same day.His heart is racing,and he is experiencing a shortness of breath and feels a little sick to his stomach.Mitch is exhibiting signs of which stage of the general adaptation syndrome?

Accepted Answer

The alarm reaction stage of the general adaptation syndrome is characterized by the body's immediate response to stress, including increased heart rate, shortness of breath, and feelings of nausea. Mitch's symptoms align with this stage as he has just found out about the upcoming tests and is experiencing a physiological response to the stressor.

Question 13

In the general adaptation syndrome,the body's defenses are stabilized,and symptoms of stress temporarily disappear (even though the stressor is still there)during the

Accepted Answer

During the stage of resistance in the general adaptation syndrome, the body's defenses are stabilized, and symptoms of stress may temporarily disappear, even though the stressor is still present. This stage follows the initial alarm reaction and precedes the final stage of exhaustion.

Question 14

Which of the following describes the body's reaction to stressful situations as a series of three stages?

Accepted Answer

The description "series of three stages" refers to the three stages of the general adaptation syndrome, which describes the body's physiological response to stress. Choice A refers to the connection between mental and physical health, but does not describe the three stages. Choice C refers to a psychological concept related to perceived control over one's life, and Choice D refers to unconscious psychological strategies used to cope with stress, neither of which describe the three stages of the body's physiological response to stress.

Question 15

Kennan is standing at the top of a very steep ski run.Feeling momentary fear,Kennan undergoes a rapid surge in his heart rate,blood pressure,respiration,muscle tension,and other autonomic nervous system responses.Kennan is experiencing

Accepted Answer

Kennan is experiencing a stress reaction, which is characterized by the rapid surge in his autonomic nervous system responses due to the momentary fear he is feeling. This is a classic example of the fight or flight response that is triggered by stress. Choices A and B are not applicable in this situation, and choice D refers to a more chronic form of stress.

Question 16

In which stage of the general adaptation syndrome does the body mobilize its resources to cope with added stress by producing more adrenaline,noradrenaline,and cortisol?

Accepted Answer

The alarm reaction stage is the first stage of the general adaptation syndrome, where the body recognizes the stressor and starts a fight-or-flight response, producing more adrenaline, noradrenaline, and cortisol to cope with the stress.

Question 17

The impact of long­term stresses can be understood by examining the body's defenses against stress,a pattern known as

Accepted Answer

The pattern known as the body's defenses against stress is specifically referred to as the general adaptation syndrome. This pattern involves three stages: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion, and it is used to describe the body's response to long-term stresses. Therefore, choice C is the best answer.

Question 18

Hans Selye developed a model,which describes the series of bodily reactions that occur to prolonged stress.He called this model the

Accepted Answer

Hans Selye developed the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) model, which describes the series of bodily reactions that occur to prolonged stress. The model has three stages: alarm stage, resistance stage, and exhaustion stage.

Question 19

Which of the following is associated with research on stress and described the general adaptation syndrome (G.A.S. )?

Accepted Answer

Hans Selye is associated with research on stress and described the general adaptation syndrome (G.A.S.).

Question 20

Which of the following is NOT one of the stages of the general adaptation syndrome?

Accepted Answer

The general adaptation syndrome consists of three stages: alarm reaction, stage of resistance, and stage of exhaustion. There is no stage of resolution.
