When Jade hears a rattle when she turns around she sees a rattlesnake? ›

Answer. Jade's reaction to the rattlesnake is the fight-or-flight response, a physiological reflex that prepares the body for a defensive or evasive action in the presence of a threat. The response that Jade experiences when she sees a rattlesnake inches from her leg is called the fight-or-flight response.

Here is an example of an event that might trigger general adaptation syndrome and possible ways you might experience each stage: Alarm reaction: You have trembling hands and butterflies in your stomach prior to the start of an important exam.

An example of general adaptation syndrome is encountering a bear while on a hike. During the alarm stage, the adrenal gland secrets cortisol and adrenaline to help one react. In the resistance stage, cortisol and adrenaline are still being secreted until the person puts enough distance between them and the bear.

In reality, rattlesnakes are not aggressive by nature and would rather avoid confrontation if possible. Their rattles serve as camouflage and a warning mechanism to prevent conflicts, not provoke them.

For instance, ground squirrels can use a rattlesnake's rattling frequency to tell how dangerous the snake is. This works because snakes are ectotherms, or cold-blooded. “Their performance is dependent on how warm they are,” says Putman. “So, a hotter snake is a more dangerous snake, and they rattle faster.”

Coronary-prone Behavior, Type A

In the late 1950s, the Type A behavior pattern was described as a contributing factor in the development of coronary heart disease (CHD). Comprised of impatience, achievement striving, competitiveness, and hostility, this pattern does predict the development of CHD.

Someone who is impatient, aggressive, and very competitive, often called a Type A personality, has a higher risk of heart disease, says Ronesh Sinha, M.D., a Palo Alto Medical Foundation internal medicine doctor. But even if you aren't Type A, other behaviors can also put you at risk.

The most stressful event found on the Social Readjustment scale was the death of a spouse. The death of a spouse has an LCU of 100, which is the highest score on the scale.

Alarm Reaction Stage

During this stage, your body sends a distress signal to your brain. Your brain responds by sending a message to the body releasing hormones called glucocorticoids and adrenaline; these are also known as your “fight or flight” hormones.

What are the responses during the alarm stage of the general adaptation syndrome? ›

Your heart rate increases, your adrenal gland releases cortisol (a stress hormone), and you receive a boost of adrenaline, which increases energy. This fight-or-flight response occurs in the alarm reaction stage.

Exhaustion stage

At this stage, the body has depleted its energy resources by continually trying but failing to recover from the initial alarm reaction stage. Once it reaches the exhaustion stage, a person's body is no longer equipped to fight stress. They may experience: tiredness.

High fiber intake has been associated with greater alertness and decreased perceived stress. So add fiber-rich foods like oatmeal, nuts, beans, fruits and vegetables to your diet. Trade caffeine for more sleep.

The three stages of general adaptation syndrome include the alarm stage, resistance stage, and exhaustion stage.

If you hear the warning rattle, move away from the area and do not make sudden or threatening movements in the direction of the snake. Remember rattlesnakes do not always rattle before they strike! Do not handle a freshly killed snake - it can still inject venom.

Gopher Snakes will also try to fake you out! If threatened, they may take a striking position, flattening their head, hissing and rustling their tails in the underbrush to mimic a rattlesnake. They do this in hopes of scaring off a potential predator who won't want to mix it up with a rattler.
