Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) is a model describing the body's physiological response to stress over time.
Recall that GAS consists of three distinct phases that represent how the body reacts and adapts to stressors.
Identify the first phase as the 'Alarm' phase, where the body initially reacts to the stressor with a fight-or-flight response.
Recognize the second phase as the 'Resistance' phase, where the body attempts to cope with the stressor and maintain homeostasis.
Note the third phase as the 'Exhaustion' phase, where prolonged stress depletes the body's resources, leading to decreased function and potential health issues.
