Question

the ______ nervous system mobilizes the bodys resources and prepares it for action (e.g., linked with the fight or flight response).

a) central

d) parasympathetic

c) sympathetic

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option B (somatic): Controls voluntary movements, not fight - or - flight.
• Option A (central): Consists of brain and spinal cord, not directly for fight - or - flight.
• Option D (parasympathetic): Calms the body, opposite of fight - or - flight.
• Option C (sympathetic): Activates the fight - or - flight response, mobilizing body resources for action.

C) sympathetic
