Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for activating the "fight or flight" response, which increases heart rate, blood pressure, and releases sugar into the blood to prepare the body for a perceived threat or stressor. The somatic nervous system controls voluntary movements, the parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the "rest and digest" response and has the opposite effect of the sympathetic nervous system, and the central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord and does not directly control physiological responses.
