PtichkaEL [24]4 years ago

Answer: Sensory neurons (nerves) are the neurons that fire when exposed to outside stimuli. Example: when you touch an ice cube, you feel the coldness of that ice cube. They are the nerves that fire off and send signals to the other nerves. Sensory neurons can be activated through physical and chemical stimuli. Physical stimuli would be sound, touch, heat, light. Chemical would be taste or smell. Nerve cells are the active component in the nervous system. Nerve cells are the basic function of the nervous system. The difference between the two are that sensory neurons (nerves) can activate motor neurons for the muscles can contract. Basically, sensory receptors (which are also neurons) are made up of nerve cells. They both send electrical signals.

Answer:

Epinephrine

Explanation:

Epinephrine, which is also referred to as adrenaline, is the active sympathetic hormone that is secreted by the medulla of the adrenal glands into the bloodstream to initiate the body’s fight-or-flight response to stress or threat, causing increased blood pressure, sugar metabolism, heart rate, breathe rate, muscle strength as well as sweat. Pete's sighting of a bear as a threat stimulates the sympathetic nervous system to initiate the secretion of epinephrine which brings about the fight-or-flight response of the body to increase alertness of the body.
