When facing a "threat" (like giving an oral presentation), the body's sympathetic nervous system activates. This leads to increased blood flow to muscles (preparing for "fight - or - flight"). Pupils dilate (not constrict) during sympathetic activation. The parasympathetic nervous system is for "rest - and - digest" (not active in threat response), and digestive system activity decreases (not increases) during sympathetic activation.
