Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system is responsible for the "fight or flight" response, which includes an increase in heart rate, adrenaline release, and heightened arousal. In this situation, the victims are likely experiencing this response when they are scared and scream, indicating that their sympathetic division is activated. The parasympathetic division is responsible for rest and digest functions and would not be involved in this situation. The parietal lobe and cerebellum are brain regions involved in sensory processing and motor coordination, respectively, but are not directly related to arousal in this context.
