Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) is a model developed by Hans Selye to describe the body's physiological response to stress over time.
Recall that GAS consists of three distinct stages that represent how the body reacts and adapts to stressors.
Identify the first stage as the 'Alarm' stage, where the body initially detects the stressor and activates the fight-or-flight response.
Recognize the second stage as the 'Resistance' stage, during which the body attempts to adapt to the ongoing stress and maintain homeostasis.
Note the third stage as the 'Exhaustion' stage, where prolonged stress depletes the body's resources, leading to decreased function and potential health issues.
