Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

With the "fight-or-flight" response, the sympathetic nervous system is activated, leading to an increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar. Hyperactivation of the hemostatic and coagulation systems, leading to hypercoagulability to prevent excessive bleeding from wounds, also occurs, but it is not related to sympathetic nervous system activation.
