Understand that 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 detects the stressor and initiates a fight-or-flight response.
Recognize the second stage as the 'Resistance' stage, where the body attempts to cope with the stressor and maintain homeostasis.
Know that the final stage is 'Exhaustion,' where prolonged stress depletes the body's resources, leading to decreased function and potential health issues.
