Question

Preparation for the fight-or-flight response includes activation of the ________ nervous system.
A) sympathetic
B) somatic
C) central
D) visceral
E) parasympathetic

Accepted Answer

The fight-or-flight response is a physiological reaction to stress that prepares the body to either fight or flee. It involves the activation of the sympathetic nervous system, which increases heart rate, dilates pupils, and mobilizes glucose for energy. The other options (somatic, central, visceral, parasympathetic) are not directly involved in preparing the body for the fight-or-flight response.
