The Hans Selye General Adaptation Syndrome Model was created by Hans Selye in 1936. The Hans Selye General Adaptation Model states that when a stressful event occurs, it acts as a stressor causing the body to react to it in three stages if not removed. The three stages are the alarm stage, the resistance stage and the exhaustion stage. A stressful event that I personally experienced and will use to apply it to the model is when I was representing my school at the National Athletics Championships for the 800m event. At the alarm stage, the body is faced with a stressor. The stressor will cause the body to respond with a fight or flight response. Then, the nervous system and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis will be activated. The body system then releases “stress” hormones such as adrenaline, cortisol and norepinephrine. Blood pressure and heart rate will start to increase. At this point, the stressor affecting me is that when I was running the last 200 meters, I hear my competitor's footsteps directly behind me. My body reacted to this stressor by thinking “this competitor is going to overtake me” and I felt fear. This thought travels to my brain, activating my neural axes and the neuroendocrine axis. The nervous system contains neurons that stimulate my adrenal medulla. Stress hormones are produced, causing me to experience increased blood pressure and heart rate. I respond to this stressor with a fight response. This is now the second stage of the stress response which is the resistance stage. The endocrine axes of my body are also activated. The hypothalamus stimulates my pituitary gland, causing the release of adrenocorticotropic hormones. It circulates in the blood, reaching the outer part of the middle of the paper. The result is that a woman befriends the enemy or situation. Women exhibiting this behavior is due to hormones such as oxytoxins and endorphin. There is also an increase in catecholamines and blood pressure. In men, on the other hand, they have less oxytocin. Therefore, they either escape or fight stress. Now I'm going to talk about how men and women deal with stress. Men tend to find something relaxing to do to relieve stress. Men also tend to keep things to themselves and don't discuss the stressor with their friends. For women, they often think of ways to overcome this stressor. Women like to talk to their friends about their problems. Unlike men who generally keep it to themselves. Talking to others about your problem is a way to relieve stress for women. To conclude, there are gender differences to highlight..
