Exercise 2-10 Summarizing 1 (p. 70) There are three stages in the general adaptation syndrome, which is the body’s response to stress. In the first stage, called alarm reaction, the sympathetic nervous system increases activity as part of the “fight- or-flight” syndrome. This response includes dilated pupils and bronchial passages, a slowed digestive system, and increases in heart rate, blood sugar, blood pressure, and blood flow to skeletal muscles. The endocrine system also produces more cortisol, which is a critical 3 Copyright © 2025, 2018, 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

hormone in the body’s response to stress. Body systems return to normal in the second stage, called the stage of resistance. In this stage, the stimulus has ceased to produce stress because the person is able to adapt and cope. Factors that contribute to this coping ability include physical and mental health, education, experiences, and support networks. The third stage is exhaustion, which results from prolonged exposure to a stressor or an especially severe stressor. In this stage, a person is unable to resist or adapt to the stressor, which may result in serious illness; however, most people do not get to this stage.
