Question

allostatic load describes the cumulative physiological wear and tear on the body that results from ongoing adaptive efforts to maintain homeostasis in response to stressors. true false question 5 2 pts the parasympathetic nervous system functions to return the body to a state of homeostasis after the fight - or - flight response has been activated true false question 6 2 pts abdominal breathing, diaphragmatic breathing, chi breathing, pranayama, and belly breathing are essentially the same true false

Explanation:

1. Allostatic load is defined as the cumulative physiological damage from repeated stress responses to maintain homeostasis.
2. The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the "rest-and-digest" response, which reverses the sympathetic "fight-or-flight" activation to restore homeostasis.
3. Abdominal, diaphragmatic, belly breathing all refer to breathing that engages the diaphragm; Chi breathing and Pranayama (in its foundational diaphragmatic form) are also centered on this same core breathing mechanism, making them essentially equivalent in their primary physical action.

Answer:

1. True
2. True
3. True
