Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for triggering the fight-or-flight response, a physiological reaction to a perceived threat that prepares the body to either fight the threat or run away from it. This response involves the release of stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, increased heart rate and breathing, and heightened awareness and readiness.
