d. resolution
Answer:
a. resistance
Explanation:
An endocrinologist named Hans Selye first described the collection of responses of the body to stress as General Adaptation Syndrome. He describes this syndrome in 3 phases. These include:
The alarm phase: this is the initial phase where the body witnessed the stressful and the body’s energy is boosted.
The Resistance Phase: This is the phase that follows immediately after the alarm phase. Here, the body’s autonomic nervous system helps the body in trying to resist and adapt well to the stressor. This is the phase in which an organism is best able to physically cope with the stress.
The exhaustion phase: When the stress continues at this phase, the body loses its ability to cope with the stress as energy is depleted.
The hormones which cause Jane’s problem are the thyroid hormones.
The condition is hypothyroidism
Explanation:
Condition: Hypothyroidism is an endocrine disorder which arises when the thyroid gland cannot produce the necessary amount of thyroid hormones like thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
Both T3 and T4 are tyrosine-based hormones which regulate metabolism and any deficiency slows down the metabolic processes and can result in high cholesterol levels and atherosclerosis
Causes: An underactive thyroid gland and Autoimmune disorder
Diagnosis: Thyroid function tests by measuring serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and T4 levels
In hypothyroidism, the TSH secreted by the pituitary gland will be high because it is producing more hormones to stimulate the underactive thyroid gland.
An underactive thyroid gland cannot produce normal levels of T4 in the body.
Symptoms: Fatigue and weakness, cold intolerance, weight gain and puffy appearance, hair thinning, dry skin, decreased concentration, poor memory, muscle and body aches etc.
Treatment
