24. The answer is c.
During active coping (Cannon™s fight or flight) there is an increase in heart rate, cardiac output, activity of striate muscle, catecholamines, and cortisol, along with vasodilation in the muscles. Under the condition of coping effort without distress, there is an increase in catecholamines (especially norepinephrine), but with a suppression of cortisol. On the other hand, coping effort associated with negative emotions (e.g., embarrassment or feeling harassed) leads to preferential
secretion of epinephrine. Attempts to cope with such stressful situations over a long period of time have important implications for health maintenance and vulnerability to disease.
