Examples of Physiologic Stressors
Chemical Agents
Physical Agents
Infectious Agents

Physiological Homeostasis
Local Adaptation Syndrome
Involves only one specific body part
- Reflex pain response
- Inflammatory Response
General Adaptation Syndrome
Biochemical model of stress
Alarm Reaction
Stage of Resistance
Stage of Exhaustion
Local Adaptation Syndrome
Localized response of the body to stress
Involves only a specific body part ( such as tissue or organ) instead of whole body
Stress precipitating the LAS may be traumatic or pathologic
Primarily homeostatic short- term adaptive response
Two types:
Reflex Pain Response
Inflammatory Response
Alarm Reaction
Person perceives stressor, defense mechanisms activated
Fight or Flight response
Hormone levels rise, body prepares to react
Shock and counter-shock phases
Stage of Resistance
Body attempts to adapt to stressor
Vital signs, hormone levels, and energy production return to normal
Body regains homeostasis or adaptive mechanisms fail
Stage of Exhaustion
Results when adaptive mechanisms are exhausted
Body either rests and mobilizes its defenses to return to normal and dies
