Question

The __________ nervous system is responsible for our fight-or-flight response. A. autonomic B. parasympathetic C. somatic D. sympathetic

Answer 1

Answer:

D. sympathetic

Explanation:

When facing down a ferocious lion, an oncoming car or maybe just an impending deadline, our bodies trigger a physical stress response that prepares us to either fight or flee the scene. This "fight-or-flight" response is driven by the sympathetic nervous system, a normally harmonized network of brain structures, nerves and hormones that, if thrown off balance, can result in serious complications

Answer 2

Answer:

D (pretty sure but might be A??)

Explanation:

autonomic- role in your physical responses in situations of stress

the autonomic nervous system is divided into two systems: sympathetic and parasympathetic. SNS (sympathetic) is responsible for your fight-or-flight: it signals your adrenal glands to release the hormones epinephrine (adreneline) and cortisol (endocrine system). these two hormones trigger many reactions of autonomic nerves (dilated blood vessels, faster heartbeat, etc). SNS is a pretty sudden response which triggers your reactions and controls fight-or-flight. (im pretty sure i mean this is what i remember sorry if this didnt help)
