Transcript

00:03

And here's your shmoop du jour brought to you by the stages of [Man eating heinz beans]

00:07

gas, what its stages of G-A-S... there go all of our jokes, anyway here's

00:14

the question what does Selye's general adaptation syndrome or GAS suggest and

00:21

and here are the potential answers....

00:29

all right well Hans Selye

00:31

otherwise known as the father of stress which is a nickname we wouldn't [Hans holding a trophy for Father of the Year]

00:35

want was the first person to give a scientific explanation for biological

00:39

stress he came up with the general adaptation syndrome to explain how the

00:43

human body responds to stresses, Selye proposed a three-stage model which [Man rubbing his face]

00:48

included alarm when a problematic stimulus was detected resistance when the

00:53

body is on alert and prepared for confrontation and exhaustion when the

00:57

body's resources have been used and the body needs to return to its resting [Young girl sleeping]

01:00

state ok looking at our options remember that general adaptation syndrome shows

01:06

how the body responds physiologically to stress so we can assume that any

01:09

answer dealing with something other than the biological response the body is [Woman in a gym]

01:13

incorrect for example answer A isn't the correct answer but it is definitely true

01:17

stress does lead to poor decisions we should know we've been closely

01:20

acquainted with many a carton of ice cream after a rough day. Anyway well it is true [Girl deciding which ice cream to buy]

01:24

it doesn't deal with anything that would be in the GAS, same thing goes for D and

01:28

E neither deals with the way the body reacts to stress, D involves

01:32

evolutionary biology and E is obviously a quote stolen from the original Planet

01:37

of the Apes so that just leaves B and C I'll start with C because well as you may

01:41

may have noticed by now we usually do the incorrect ones first well it might [Girl with hands to her mouth surprised]

01:44

be possible to infer that Selye's GAS implies that each body goes through

01:50

the same three stages this is the kind of broad statement you should normally [Animal circus on stage]

01:54

avoid in test situations and the kind usually not found in the world of

01:58

Hungarian endocrinology, with C eliminated we can safely say that B is

02:02

our correct answer there are three different stages of [Man with his head resting against a wall]

02:05

stress; alarm, resistance and exhaustion A-R-E each describing different

02:10

physiological results, Selye's stress model also explains how aging and disease

02:15

are caused by chronic exposure to stress don't keep that in mind but - why try not Man in wheelchair taken away from hospital]

02:20

to stress about it otherwise yeah, that sort of a

02:25

self-fulfilling thing isn't it?
