Just before you went on a job interview your heart was pounding like crazy. You experienced a shortness of breath and felt sick to your stomach. These symptoms were most likely produced by your _____ nervous system.

A. central
B. somatic
C. parasympathetic
D. sympathetic

Respuesta :

Answer:

D. Sympathetic

Explanation:

The Sympathetic nervous system regulates the fight-or-flight-or-freeze response. It tells you whether you should run from a threat, fight it, or hide, and it is the primary response to stress.

It secretes hormones and neurotransmitters to regulate your response. In this case, before the job interview, the sympathetic nervous system probably secreted copious amounts of cortisol, epinephrine, and norepinephrine, sending the body into a state of alertness. This state in turn causes the fast heart beating, the sweating, and the agitation.
