The body’s response to change is

Answer 1

often referred to as the "fight or flight" response. When faced with a stressful or challenging situation, the body undergoes various physiological changes in order to prepare itself to either confront the situation or escape from it.

Some of the common responses include an increase in heart rate and blood pressure to pump more oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, dilation of the pupils to improve vision, release of stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol to heighten alertness and energy, and slowing down of non-essential bodily functions such as digestion and immune response.

These changes are meant to optimize the body's readiness for action, allowing it to respond quickly and effectively to the perceived threat or change in its environment. Once the threat has passed or the situation has been resolved, the body gradually returns to its normal state through a process called homeostasis. However, prolonged or chronic stress can have negative effects on the body's overall health and well-being.
