Question 4 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology A

What are some of the effects of the stress response on the body? Select all that apply.

Answer
A
elevated heart rate
B
elevated blood pressure
C
lowered glucose level
D
lowered blood pressure

Explanation

The stress response activates the body for action, increasing heart rate and blood pressure. It also tends to raise blood glucose so the body has more energy available, so “lowered glucose level” is not correct. “Lowered blood pressure” is not a typical effect either.
