first reported by Hans Selye in the general adaptation theory (GAS). [pic] The General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) In order to develop a general theory for the physiological response of humans and animals to stress‚ Hans Selye‚ former director of Experimental Medicine and Surgery at the University of Montreal‚ performed an integrated analysis of the effects of stress on adrenal gland function. He called his model of stress adaptation the General Adaptation Syndrome or GAS. The GAS was thought by

The steps of the general adaptation syndrome that I would experience are alarm reaction‚ which is the body’s initial response to any stressors. This reaction mobilizes or arouses the body in preparation to defend itself against a stressor. This reaction involves a number of body changes‚ which are initiated by the brain and further regulated by the endocrine system and the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system. The next stage of the general adaptation syndrome I would experience

will be examined the practical application of the Selye’s general adaptation syndrome basing on my own experience. Recently‚ I have faced a stressful situation when I needed to change my place of living. It might be a lucky moment‚ but it is still a disturbance of my everyday routine. Additionally‚ I was afraid of the fact that it would take some time before I could get settled in my new place. According to the Selye’s general adaptation syndrome‚ the first phase is called “alarm” which represents a

General Adaption Syndrome- (Stress Response) Three Stages: Consistent way the body reacts to stress; typically involves elevated levels of epinephrine and glucocorticoids Alarm reaction- mediated by norepinephrine from the sympathetic nervous system‚ and epi from the adrenal medulla. They prepare body for flight or fight. Angiotensin and aldosterone levels also increase. Angiotensin raises BP‚ aldosterone promotes sodium and H2O conservation‚ which helps offset possible losses by sweating and bleeding

Final Reflective Essay on Teaching and Learning I have learned three things from my student teaching experience: effective pedagogy‚ classroom management‚ and humility. In this expository essay I will briefly explain each of the above-mentioned and explain why it is important. Among foreign language teachers‚ there is debate about how to most effectively teach. The debate can be simplified to two pedagogical approaches; grammarbased vs. immersion-based. The grammar approach to learning a foreign
