Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The symptoms described (butterflies in stomach, dry mouth, sweaty palms) are all physical responses commonly associated with the activation of the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the body's "fight or flight" response to stress or danger. Therefore, choice A (sympathetic) is the best answer. Choices B-D (parasympathetic, parietal lobe, cerebellum) are not directly involved in the physiological response described.
