Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Each person reacts to stress in his or her own way. With prolonged stress, some may develop diarrhea, others headaches. Such illnesses are real and are called psychosomatic disorders because the physiologic alterations are thought to be at least partially caused by psychological influences.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Exhaustion results when the adaptive mechanisms are exhausted. Without defense against the stressor, the body may either rest and mobilize its defenses to return to normal, or reach total exhaustion and die.
