Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The HPA Axis is activated in response to stressors and can remain activated even after the stressor has ended. This can lead to continued stress and feelings of anxiety, which may explain why Ryder is still feeling stressed even as he is giving his statement to the police. Pathway 1 (SNS) is typically activated during the fight or flight response, which would have been more useful during the actual mugging. Neither option C or D are accurate as they do not address the specific stress response system in play.
