Hanse Selye studied the bodily responses to prolonged stress and developed General Adaptation Syndrome involving three stages. Arrange the below mentioned statements in order.

A. The parasympathetic nervous system calls for more cautious use of the body’s resources.
B. This triggers tire release of hormones and person is ready for fight or flight
C. The organism makes efforts to cope with the threat as through confrontations.
D. The physiological system involved in alarm reaction and resistance becomes ineffective.
E. Presence of a noxious stimuli or stressor leads to the activation of adrenal-pituitary-cortex system.

Choose the correct answer front the options given below:

EBACD

According to Hans Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS), the body responds to prolonged stress in three stages:

1. Alarm reaction: The presence of a noxious stimulus or stressor leads to activation of the adrenalpituitary-cortex system. This triggers the release of hormones producing the stress response. Now the individual is ready for fight or flight.

2. Resistance: If stress is prolonged, the resistance stage begins. The parasympathetic nervous system calls for more cautious use of the body’s resources. The organism makes efforts to cope with the threat, as through confrontation.

3. Exhaustion: Continued exposure to the same stressor or additional stressors drains the body of its resources and leads to the third stage of exhaustion. The physiological systems involved in alarm reaction and resistance become ineffective and susceptibility to stress-related diseases such as high blood pressure becomes more likely.

Therefore, the correct order of the statements is:

E. Presence of a noxious stimuli or stressor leads to the activation of adrenal-pituitary-cortex system.

B. This triggers tire release of hormones and person is ready for fight or flight.

A. The parasympathetic nervous system calls for more cautious use of the body’s resources.

C. The organism makes efforts to cope with the threat as through confrontations.

D. The physiological system involved in alarm reaction and resistance becomes ineffective.
