5 Questions
Match the following physiological responses with their effects on the body during the 'fight or flight' response:
Constriction of blood vessels = Raises blood pressure Release of glucose into the blood = Provides extra energy for muscles Dilation of airways = Increases oxygen intake Redistribution of cardiac output = Increases blood supply to exercising muscles
Match the following terms with their descriptions related to the sympathetic nervous system:
Basal tone = State of complete relaxation Noradrenaline = Hormone that constricts blood vessels Adrenaline = Hormone that releases glucose into the blood Fight or flight response = State of complete rest
Match the following physiological processes with their effects on the body during the 'fight or flight' response:
Glcogenolysis = Breaks down glycogen to glucose Increase in cardiac output = Increases heart rate Dilation of airways = Increases oxygen intake Constriction of blood vessels = Decreases blood pressure
Match the following hormones with their effects on the body during the 'fight or flight' response:
Adrenaline = Increases heart rate and blood pressure Noradrenaline = Constricts blood vessels Insulin = Lowers blood sugar levels Glucagon = Raises blood sugar levels
Match the following terms with their descriptions related to the sympathetic nervous system:
Accelerator pedal = The parasympathetic nervous system Fight or flight response = The body's preparation for physical action Basal tone = A constant level of sympathetic activity Sympathetic nervous system = The body's relaxation response
Learn about the role of the sympathetic nervous system in preparing the body for physical action, including the release of noradrenaline and its effects on blood vessels and cardiac output. Understand the concept of the 'fight or flight' response and its importance in human physiology.
