Question

Fight or flight responses are due to

• A. Release of adrenal medullary hormones and low sympathetic tone.
• B. Release of corticosteroids and low sympathetic tone.
• C. Release of adrenal medullary hormones and high sympathetic tone.
• D. Release of adrenal medullary hormones and high parasympathetic tone.

Hint:

Link adrenal medulla with emergency responses—adrenaline is the keyword for “fight or flight.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The “fight or flight” response is mediated by the sympathetic nervous system and adrenal medulla, which release adrenaline and noradrenaline. This leads to increased heart rate, blood pressure, and alertness, preparing the body to face a threat.
