Name 2 of the many physiological responses of a fight or flight scenario. (there are more than 12)
Options: -blood vessels constrict, cutting off blood to non-vital organs -big endorphin and epinephrine rush -fat from fatty cells and glucose from liver are metabolized to make instant energy -breathe faster and deeper: oxygenate muscles -senses intensify: hear clearer, see sharper, taste the air, more sensitive touch, smell better -blood vessels to skin constrict to reduce blood loss -sweat glands open up to provide external cooling -heart beats faster and more powerfully (normally pumps a gal/min, under pressure it can go up to 5 gal/min) -frontal lobe (logic, rational thinking) quiets down, hindbrain (survival instinct) lights up -freeze -shield, self of other -**sacrifice (this isn't really a physiological response because rational thought is involved)
