The sympathetic nervous system. The hypothalamus, in close association with the limbic system of the brain. The "fight or flight" response is the term used for the activation of the sympathetic nervous system. The two main chemicals invoved here are the neurotransmitter "norepinephrine" (noradrenaline) and the hormone "epinephrine" (adrenaline). Noradrenaline is produced in the neurones and is secreted at the synapse to exert its "sympathetic" activity on various organs throughout the body. The nervous system is also responsible for eliciting epinephrine production from the adrenal medulla (a part of the suprarenal glands situtated on the top of each kidney).
The area in the brain called the amygdala often responds first to perceptions of hazards in the environment, stimulating the adrenal gland, often bypassing the conscious brain; in effect, you might respond before you can even "think about it."
The adrenal glands are integral to the flight or fight response. The adrenal glands sit on top of the kidneys- and have a cortex (outer part) and medulla (inner part). It is the medulla of the adrenal glands that produce the flight or fight hormone adrenaline ( see the adrenal... in the name?!)
The adrenal gland. Fear triggered in the 'brain', which is in the central nervous system sends signals through the autonomic nervous system to the adrenal medulla to pump out adrenaline.
Your brain/nervous system by releasing the hormones, Adrenaline, Cortisol and Norepinephrine
The Hormone Adrenaline
The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the fight of flight response. The the adrenal glands release epinephrine in the fight or flight response, and norepinephrine after the threat ceases.
The fight or flight response is the hormone adrenaline so the chances are that at least some of your senses become more alert.
The fight or flight response is a physical response; a strong stimulus or emergency causes the release of a chemical called nor-adrenaline (also called norepinephrine)
Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) and norepinephrine are the two major neurotransmitters involved in the fight or flight response. The main hormone involved in the stress response is cortisol.
This hormone is released during stress by adrenal medulla. This hormone gears up your body for fight or flight response.
Adrenaline
The hormone that aids in the fight or flight response is adrenalin. Adrenalin is secreted by the adrenal medulla and makes the heart beat faster.
Adrenaline is a hormone that is produced when a person is subjected to the "fight or flight" response.
The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the fight of flight response. The the adrenal glands release epinephrine in the fight or flight response, and norepinephrine after the threat ceases.
Norepinephrine
The fight or flight response is the hormone adrenaline so the chances are that at least some of your senses become more alert.
Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) and norepinephrine are the two major neurotransmitters involved in the fight or flight response. The main hormone involved in the stress response is cortisol.
The fight or flight response is a physical response; a strong stimulus or emergency causes the release of a chemical called nor-adrenaline (also called norepinephrine)
Epinephrine. Also known as Adrenaline.
This hormone is released during stress by adrenal medulla. This hormone gears up your body for fight or flight response.
the response is made when your in danger or are under extreme stress such as in a fight or when you need an extra boost
This hormone is released during stress by adrenal medulla. This hormone gears up your body for fight or flight response.
