Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, is released in response to stress or anxiety and can cause an increase in heart rate and other physiological responses commonly associated with the fight or flight response. Seeing an unexpected boss could elicit this response in Donny. GABA and serotonin are not typically associated with this type of response, while dopamine is often associated with reward and reinforcement.
