What happens during the exhaustion phase of the stress response system?


Immune system is suppressed


Blood pressure and heart rate are constantly elevated


Metabolic functions return to normal


Body enters a state of relaxation
Answer
so the answer is
Immune system is suppressed

Blood pressure and heart rate are constantly elevated

Metabolic functions return to normal

Body enters a state of relaxation
Answer
How does the stress response system affect the body during the alarm phase?


How does the stress response system affect the body during the alarm phase?


Mobilizes resources for coping with short-term threats


Increases immune response


Decreases heart rate and blood pressure


Reduces muscle tension

During the exhaustion phase of the stress response system, the body enters a state of exhaustion and depletion. The body's resources, such as energy reserves and hormones, become depleted as they have been constantly used during the stress response. As a result, the immune system becomes suppressed, making the individual more susceptible to illnesses and infections. Blood pressure and heart rate may still be elevated, but they are likely to fluctuate between periods of heightened activity and fatigue. Metabolic functions may not return to normal immediately, as the body may still be depleted and recovering. The body may eventually enter a state of relaxation as it attempts to recover and restore homeostasis.

No, I apologize for the confusion. During the exhaustion phase of the stress response system, the body's resources are depleted and the organism is unable to maintain the heightened state of stress. As a result, the immune system remains suppressed, blood pressure and heart rate may fluctuate or decrease, and metabolic functions may not return to normal immediately. The body enters a state of fatigue and vulnerability rather than relaxation.

During the alarm phase of the stress response system, the body activates its "fight or flight" response in order to mobilize resources to cope with the perceived threat or stressor. This includes releasing stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which increase heart rate and blood pressure, preparing the body for quick action. Muscle tension may also increase as the body prepares for physical exertion. The immune response may not necessarily increase immediately during the alarm phase, as the focus is primarily on immediate survival rather than long-term immune function.
