Summary Introduction
To review:
The events that take place during the flight-or-fight response of the body.
Introduction:
The fight-or-flight response is a sympathetic response that occurs due to release of certain hormones from adrenal medulla. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) enhances this response in the situation of emotional or physical stress. During such situations, the sympathetic division of the ANS dominates the parasympathetic nervous system.

- While Jack and Eliza were backpacking on a trail in YellowstonePark, they encountered a grizzly bear cub that seemed amazinglytame. However, while Jack tried to feed the cub, its mother appearedand attacked him. Eliza escaped by climbing a tree, but Jack receivedseveral deep lacerations (cuts) and lost a lot of blood over the nextseveral hours. Eliza helped him reach medical aid, and he survived.Which of the following mechanisms was (were) activated to help keepJack alive?

- Which phase of the general adaptation syndrome occurs over a longer period of time and how?arrow_forwardIs reaction time voluntary or involuntary? or does reaction time cover both voluntary and involuntary responses?arrow_forwardWhich statements describe how systems interact to produce the fight-or-flight response?Select the two correct answers. A The digestive system interacts with the excretory system, supplying hormones to slow the production of urine. B The endocrine system floods the circulatory system with hormones that affect several other body systems. C The endocrine system supplies the lungs with insulin, allowing increased absorption of oxygen. D The digestive system creates hormones that are sent to the muscular system, resulting in increased blood flow to muscles. E The muscular system sends receptors to the circulatory system to increase blood pressure and heart rate. F The circulatory system experiences a change in blood flow, which allows the muscular system to obtain additional glucose.arrow_forward
