Fight Or Flight Response Research Paper

The fight or flight response is a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a threat to a human life. This physiological reaction is most common in people who suffer from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). During an episode of fight or flight the body system that is used is the nervous system. In the Nervous System it has two components, the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system.The Sympathetic Nervous System provides the body with a lot of energy so that it can respond to a danger, which either means you run away from the danger that is in front of you or fight the danger. The Parasympathetic Nervous System allows the brain to think react to the situation that you are facing, to either make a decision
of you fight the danger or you run away from it.
