For a term paper in a health psychology class, Marv decided to describe the stress or fight-or-flight response. Although he expected to find that the body was prepared for either fight or flight in reaction to stress, he found another
interesting and unexpected finding related to the effect of stress on the body. Which of these might have caught his attention?
a) The stress response reduces immune system functioning, which make us more vulnerable to disease.
b) The stress response in the long run leads to a lowering of the heart rate, which makes the heart inefficient.
c) The stress response makes muscles stronger, which places a greater burden on the heart and respiratory systems.
d) The body adapts to the constant call for the stress response and thus future responses are not as strong as before.
