The sympathetic nervous response causes the body to prepare for "fight or flight" by increasing heart rate and blood pressure, constricting blood vessels, dilating pupils, and increasing respiration. The body also sweats to dissipate heat generated by the increased metabolic activity. The skin may become pale due to constriction of blood vessels in the skin.
