Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The resistance stage is when the body continues to secrete hormones to fight a stressor, but the person may feel better and may be able to cope with the stressor more effectively. In the exhaustion stage, the body's resources are depleted, and the person may experience physical and emotional symptoms of stress. The termination stage is not a recognized stage in the general adaptation syndrome. The alarm stage is the initial reaction to the stressor, where the body activates its fight or flight response.
