Answer to Question 1

Though Selye's model has intuitive appeal, it has its limitations. First, as a biological model, it does not address psychological processes such as cognitive appraisals of stressors and how they can uniquely affect one's perceptions and coping skills. Second, Selye claimed that there was universality to stressors and their effects. In other words, all stressors should have similar effects, but this is not accurate.

Answer to Question 2

The digestive process stops so that GI system blood that had been collecting energy can be quickly routed to the brain and muscles. Digesting food is not very adaptive when one is about to be eaten.
