Which of the following is not a part sympathetic activation during the fight or flight response? adrenaline surges into the bloodstream digestion functions become more active heart rate and blood pressure increases pupils dilate
James K.
The sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system inhibit digestive and sexual responses. They increase heart rate and blood pressure, preparing the body for action and restoring the body's resources. They also decrease heart rate and blood pressure, constrict bronchioles and pupils. They prepare the body for fight or flight.
