Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the body's fight or flight response to stressors, causing an increase in heart rate and respiration to prepare the body for action. Oxytocin is a hormone involved in social bonding and not the stress response. The immune system and spontaneous remission are not directly involved in regulating heart rate and respiration.
