Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fight-or-flight response is a physiological response to stress that prepares the body to either fight or flee. The hypothalamus, sympathetic nervous system, and adrenal medulla work together to stimulate this response during the initial stages of the stress response. This includes the release of stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, increased heart rate and blood pressure, and increased blood flow to the muscles.
