Lecture Notes
Regardless of the type of stressor that we're experiencing, our body responds in a very similar way physiologically, so although our psychological response may differ from one stressor to another, the physiological response follows these three phases of the general adaptation syndrome: alarm, resistance and exhaustion. And you can see those on the slide, but we'll talk about each one of these physiological stages in the next few slides, but first, if you need a primer on the parts of the nervous system and how they work together, watch this about 5-minute video that's included on the bottom of the slide. It should help you to understand these physiological changes in your body with stress.
