All of the Following Events Occur During the Fight-Or-Flight Response

Question

All of the following events occur during the fight-or-flight response EXCEPT
A)increased heart rate
B)increased blood pressure
C)constriction of the pupils
D)dilation of the bronchioles
E)decreased digestive secretions

Accepted Answer

During the fight-or-flight response, the sympathetic nervous system is activated, leading to increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, dilation of the bronchioles, and decreased digestive secretions. However, the pupils actually dilate to enhance visual perception during a stressful situation. Therefore, the correct answer is C, constriction of the pupils, as this is not a response seen during the fight-or-flight response.
