Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stress hormones, specifically adrenaline and cortisol, are released in times of emergency and contribute to increases in heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels. The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for rest and relaxation, and would not be activated in times of emergency. The insula is involved in emotional regulation and self-awareness, but is not directly responsible for physiological responses to stress. The amygdala plays a role in the processing of emotions and memories, but again, is not directly responsible for physiological responses to stress.
