How does your sympathetic nervous system work when you are in a stressful situation?
Answer (2)
The sympathetic nervous system activates in stress, triggering the 'fight or flight' response. This results in increased heart rate, rapid breathing, and other physiological changes that prepare the body to confront or escape a threat. After the stressor is gone, the body calms down through the parasympathetic system.

ANSWER:
In stressful situations, the autonomic nervous system prepares the body for the "fight or flight" response, a physiological stress response.
EXPLANATION:
**In stressful situations, the autonomic nervous system prepares the body for the "fight or flight" response, a physiological stress response. **The sympathetic nervous system increases heart rate, pupil dilation, and blood flow to muscles. It prepares the body to respond promptly to harmful stimuli. The term "fight or flight" commonly refers to this response.
The parasympathetic and sympathetic nerve systems work together to maintain bodily balance. The sympathetic nervous system helps the body respond quickly to life-threatening situations. When triggered, it causes physiological changes that help humans react swiftly to dangers.
