The stress response may be defined as the change in the physiology of the body during the emergency fight or flight condition. Three stages of the stress response are alarm, resistance and fatigue.
Alarm may be defined as the first stage of the stress response. This stage is processed when the mind and the body of the individual is in the high alert. This stage prepares the body to protect itself or to flee from the threat. This stage is best marked as fight and flight.
