and explain the role of each.
Sympathetic nervous system activation results in fight-or-flight response. Stress hormones are released during the flight-or-fight response. Heart rate increases, body becomes tense and alert, blood flow to muscles increases, and digestive activity stops. Sympathetic nervous system is also activated during exercise.
