Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
The local adaptation syndrome is a localized response of the body to stress. It involves only a specific body part (such as a tissue or organ) instead of the whole body. The stress precipitating the LAS may be traumatic or pathologic.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The student's response to stress exemplifies the mindbody interaction and illustrates a link between psychological stressors and the physiologic stress response. A person perceives a threat on an emotional level as though it is a physiologic threat, and the body prepares itself for the fight-or-flight response.
