Question

Which of the following nervous systems is considered a fight or flight system?
A. Sympathetic
B. Motor
C. Parasympathetic
D. Sensory

Answer 1

Hint: The fight-or-flight response, sometimes known as the fight-flight-or-freeze response, is a physiological response that happens in response to a perceived detrimental event, attack, or survival danger. Walter Bradford Cannon was the first to describe it.

Complete answer:
Many physiological changes occur during the fight-flight-freeze response. The amygdala, the portion of your brain responsible for fear perception, triggers the reaction. In response, the amygdala sends messages to the hypothalamus, which stimulates the autonomic nervous system (ANS).
The sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system are two parts of the autonomic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system works similarly to a car's gas pedal. It activates the fight-or-flight response, which gives the body a rush of energy to respond to perceived threats.
In dangerous or stressful situations, the sympathetic nervous system drives the body's swift involuntary response. The body's attentiveness and heart rate are boosted by a surge of hormones, which sends more blood to the muscles. Breathing becomes more rapid, supplying new oxygen to the brain, and glucose is injected into the bloodstream for an immediate energy boost.
The alarm is then passed on to the sympathetic nervous system, which passes it on to the adrenal glands, which create epinephrine, also known as adrenaline. This hormone causes the sweating, racing heart, and shallow breathing that we associate with stress.

So, the correct answer is option A

Note:
The sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve systems are located on opposite sides of a swaying scale; each system is active in the body and serves to counterbalance the other's activity. The body achieves homeostasis when the opposing forces are generally balanced, and operations continue as usual. Diseases, on the other hand, can throw the equilibrium off.
