Over the last century,researchers have held various views of stress and adaptation.Which of the following alters physiological functions temporarily as the body deals with an acute stressor?

A) Allostasis
B) Homeostasis
C) General adaptation syndrome
D) Set-point model

Allostasis

“Balance through adaptation.” In this model of stress processes, the central nervous system (CNS) controls multiple interacting regulatory processes so that the best balance for each specific challenge is found, rather than returning to a fixed set point.

General Adaptation Syndrome

A model that describes the body's short-term and long-term reactions to stress, developed by Hans Selye.

Set-Point Model

A theory in psychology that suggests individuals have a pre-set level of happiness or well-being, which is largely stable over time despite changes in circumstances.
