Question 3

The physiologic opposite of the stress response is&#10;A)Homeostasis.&#10;B)The relaxation response.&#10;C)Stress management.&#10;D)Anxiety.

Accepted Answer

The relaxation response is the physiologic opposite of the stress response. It is the body's natural counterbalance to stress and can be elicited through practices like meditation, deep breathing, and progressive muscle relaxation. Homeostasis is a general term for the body's balanced and stable state, which can be disrupted by stress. Stress management refers to strategies and techniques that help individuals cope with stress, but it is not an opposite to the stress response. Anxiety is a psychological state of heightened fear, worry, or unease, which can arise from stress but is not the physiologic opposite of the stress response.
