Question

question 20 1 pts when someone sees an accident and rushes to help, which system releases stress hormones to help?
○ sympathetic nervous system
○ parasympathetic nervous system
○ somatic nervous system
○ peripheral nervous system

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system and is responsible for the "fight - or - flight" response. In a situation like seeing an accident and rushing to help (a stressful, emergency - like situation), the sympathetic nervous system is activated. It releases stress hormones (such as adrenaline) to prepare the body for action. The parasympathetic nervous system is for "rest - and - digest" functions, the somatic nervous system controls voluntary muscle movements (not stress hormone release for emergency responses), and the peripheral nervous system is a broad category that includes the sympathetic, parasympathetic, and somatic systems, but it's not the specific system that releases stress hormones in this context.

Answer:

A. sympathetic nervous system
