Question

When someone is experiencing​ hypoglycemia, the body attempts to compensate by using the​ fight-or-flight mechanism of the autonomic nervous system. Which one of the statements below is NOT one of the​ fight-or-flight responses?A.Breathing accelerates.B.Blood vessels constrict.C.The skin is hot and dry.D.The heart pumps faster.

Answer 1

Answer:

Blood vessels constrict

Explanation:

On seeing danger, impulses are sent to the adrenal medulla. It responds by secreting adrenaline into the bloodstream. This results in the following:

• Increased heartbeat
• Diversion of blood from alimentary canal and skin to skeletal muscles.
• Increased breathing rate and depth
• The liver releases more glucose.

These changes increase energy production especially in the skeletal muscles and prepare animal for sudden fight or flight.
