Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Exploring the concept of the fight or flight response helps us distinguish which part of the nervous system governs this rapid, arousal-based reaction.
Option 1: gustatory system. This pertains to taste perception and is not involved in autonomic stress responses, so it does not regulate fight or flight.
Option 2: sympathetic nervous system. This branch of the autonomic nervous system ramps up physiological processes—increasing heart rate, dilating airways, releasing adrenaline—which collectively prepare the body to confront or flee from danger.
Option 3: parasympathetic nervous system. In contrast to the sympathetic branch, the parasympathetic system promotes rest, digestion, and conservation of energy, effectively counteracting fight or flight rather than initiating it.
Option 4: somatic nervous system. This system controls voluntary muscle movement and sensory input, not the automatic, rapid stress-response pathways that underpin fight or flight.
Putting these pieces together, the sympathetic nervous system is the key controller of the fight or flight response, coordinating the body's immediate preparedness for action while the other options either relate to non-stress processes or to voluntary/muscle functions rather than automatic stress responses.
