Which of the following is not a stage in the General Adaptation Syndrome? (CSLO 1, CSLO 2, CSLO 3)Group of answer choicesResistanceRecognitionAlarmCountershock

The General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) is a three-stage process that describes the physiological changes the body goes through when under stress. These stages are:

1. Alarm Reaction Stage: This is the initial stage when the body first reacts to the stressor. The "fight or flight" response is activated, and stress hormones are produced.

2. Resistance Stage: If the stress continues, the body enters the resistance stage. During this stage, the body attempts to resist or adapt to the stressor while maintaining its homeostasis.

3. Exhaustion Stage: If the stress continues for a longer period, the body's resistance to the stress may gradually be reduced, or may collapse quickly. This is the exhaustion stage.

Given these stages, the option "Recognition" is not a stage in the General Adaptation Syndrome.
