tion Syndrome resistance, exhaustion.
(GAS)
15. Alarm Stage -The �rst stage of the general adaptation syndrome, in which the person experi-
ences a burst of energy that aids in dealing with the stressful situation.
-Hormonal release mobilizes body's defense mechanisms
-Temp increase, malaise, appetite loss
16. Resistance Stage -The second stage of the general adaptation syndrome, when there are intense
physiological e orts to either resist or adapt to the stressor.
-If prolonged, responce becomes maladaptive and a pathologic condition can
occur -> "stress related disorder"
17. Exhaustion Stage -The third stage of the GAS, characterized by weakened resistance and possible
