Second part
In turn, another message that travels through nerves
from the hypothalamus to the adrenal medulla created an active secretion of
adrenaline. These hormones are responsible for the organic reaction throughout
the body.
2. State resistance:
when an indivual is subjected to prolonged factors
such as the threat of damaging physical, chemical, biological or social agents,
while continuing its adaptation to such claims in a progressive manner, it may
happen that diminish their ability to respond, because of the fatigue that
occurs in the glands of stress. During this phase usually a dynamic equilibrium
or homeostasis happens between the internal and external environment of the
individual.
Thus, if the body has the ability to withstand this
stress a long time, there is no problem; if not, the stress will undoubtedly
advance to the next stage.
3. Phase of exhaustion:
The
progressive decline of the body facing a situation of prolonged stress leads to
a high state of deterioration, with the
loss of important physiological capacities and thereby activates the phase of
exhaustion, in which the subject succumbs to the demands and bodily reactions
are minimized because their capacity to adapt and interact with the environment
diminish.
