reconvert glycogen stores to glucose for food to prepare for potential defense needs.
- Resistance stage- the digestive system reduces function to shunt blood to areas need for defense.

depleted or the emotional components are not resolved, resulting in continual arousal of the physiological
responses and little reserve capacity.
