According to Selye (1956, 1974), which stage of reaction to stress stimulates the body to send messages from the hypothalamus to

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The alarm reaction stage

Explanation:

According to Selye, there are three stages of reaction to stress conditions. These are namely the alarm reaction stage, the resistance stage, and the exhaustion stage.

The alarm reaction stage is the first stage of stress reactions which includes perception of stress conditions. The hypothalamus sends signals to the associated glands and organs to prepare for the defensive responses.

The adrenal gland receives a signal to secrete the stress hormones while organs such as the liver are signaled to increase the glucose formation which in turn would serve as fuel during stress conditions.

The follicular phase
The ovulatory phase
The luteal phase

The follicular phase is characterized by low levels of oestrogen and progesterone and a slightly high level of follicle stimulating hormone which ensures that follicles within the ovary develop.

The ovulatory phase is characterized by a surge in the luitenizing hormone (which stimulates the release of eggs) and follicle stimulating hormone with a decrease in the level of oestrogen and a gradual increase in the level of progesterone.

The luteal phase is characterized by a general decrease in the levels of luitenizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone while oestrogen level may remain high.
