question 24
which nervous system division is referred to by the nickname of \fight, flight, or freeze\?
parasympathetic division of the somatic nervous system
sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system
parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system
sympathetic division of the somatic nervous system
The autonomic nervous system has two divisions: sympathetic and parasympathetic. The sympathetic division is activated in stressful situations and triggers the "fight, flight, or freeze" response. The somatic nervous system controls voluntary movements, so options with "somatic" are incorrect. The parasympathetic division is for "rest - and - digest" (opposite of the given nickname).
