Question

question 17
during which stage of the general adaptation syndrome does the stress response remain activated, but at a less heightened level, for an extended period of time?
resistance
exhaustion
alarm
homeostasis
question 18
during which stage of the general adaptation syndrome does the body no longer function normally due to chronic activation of the stress response?
resistance
exhaustion
alarm
homeostasis

Explanation:

For Question 17: The general adaptation syndrome's Resistance stage follows the initial Alarm stage; in this phase, the stress response stays active but at a sustained, less intense level as the body adapts to the ongoing stressor.
For Question 18: The Exhaustion stage occurs when the body's adaptive resources from the Resistance stage are depleted. Chronic stress activation leads to breakdown of normal bodily function, as the body can no longer maintain its adapted state.

Answer:

Question 17: A. Resistance
Question 18: B. Exhaustion
