All right.
00:01
So this question is asking, at which stage of zelia's general adaptation syndrome is a person especially vulnerable to illness? a, exhaustion, b, alarm reaction, c, fight or flight, or d, resistance.
00:16
So as mentioned in the question, this question is really getting at your understanding of zelia's general adaptation syndrome, specifically to different stages, how they defer.
00:26
And if you're able to understand that, then you'll be able to get the right answer.
00:30
So zellia's general adaptation syndrome is basically the idea that the response -based theory of stress comes in three stages.
00:47
Alarm or alarm reaction, resistance, and exhaustion.
00:53
So i'm scrolling down from the screen.
00:56
You could see that i sort of just copied the graph from the graph from the screen.
01:01
Textbook, exhibiting the general adaptation syndrome and how stress, especially its prolongation, can affect the body or essentially the response to it.
01:17
So here we have the alarm reaction.
01:19
The alarm reaction is really characterized by the initial response to stress.
01:24
This is housed by the flight or flight response that was described by canon.
01:29
But that's not to be confused with the fact that alarm reaction does not equal fight or flight.
01:36
It houses that idea, but it's essentially the immediate reaction to the stressor or the threatening situation or the emergency.
01:48
Following that, we have the resistance.
01:51
The resistance is basically post -shock of alarm reaction, and your body kind of wears off that initial reaction and has gone into this sort of adaptation towards the stressor.
02:04
That's not to say that the body calms down, but it's actually quite the opposite.
02:08
Your body stays alert, and it's prepared to respond in any way to the situation that is presented, i should say.
02:18
However, after the resistance, you go into the stage of exhaustion.
02:22
And this is what's really critical because at this point, because of the prolonged time spent in resistance, your body no longer has the energy to adapt to the stressor or the situation...
