∙ 15y agoThe fight-or-flight response involves the activation of the adrenal glands, which release hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones increase heart rate, blood pressure, and energy levels to prepare the body to either confront a threat or flee from it.
The other name for the fight or flight response is the acute stress response.
The ALARM response
The fight or flight response is triggered by the release of stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol in response to a perceived threat or danger. This response prepares the body to either confront the threat (fight) or escape from it (flight) in order to ensure survival.
The adrenal medulla is responsible for the fight-or-flight response. It releases a hormonal cascade that results in the secretion of epinephrine and nonrepinephrine.
Walter Cannon, a harvard physiologist, first investigated the fight or flight response in 1927.
...sympathetic nervous system. When faced with a threat, this system triggers a series of physiological changes to prepare the body to either confront the danger or flee from it. Key components of the fight or flight response include increased heart rate, heightened senses, and the release of stress hormones like adrenaline.
No, the fight or flight response is a natural physiological reaction that occurs in many animals when faced with a threat. It helps the organism to either confront or escape from the danger.
The fight-or-flight response is influenced and enhanced by the adrenal system. When an animal senses danger, on-rushing epinephrine springs them into action.
The hormone that aids in the fight or flight response is adrenalin. Adrenalin is secreted by the adrenal medulla and makes the heart beat faster.
