Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Moesha's response to the scare is due to activation of the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the "fight or flight" response to perceived danger. This system triggers the release of adrenaline, causing an increased heart rate and other physical symptoms to prepare the body to respond to the threat.
