Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Elevated -endorphins activate endorphin (opiate) receptors on peripheral sensory nerves, leading to pain relief or analgesia. None of the other options result from the effects of elevated -endorphins.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Anticipation of experiencing these events produces a physiologic stress response. Homeostasis is a steady-state. Reactive response occurs following a stressful event. Exhaustion stage is the final stage of the stressful response, when the body can no longer sustain the response.
