Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Endorphins are naturally occurring opioids that are released in response to pain or stress. They can help reduce pain and improve mood, and in some cases, they may also help animals defend themselves even when severely injured. This is because endorphins can enhance an animal's ability to tolerate pain and may also increase its aggression or fight response. None of the other options listed are directly involved in pain management or fight/flight responses.
