Detailed explanation-1: -The autonomic nervous system has two components, the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system functions like a gas pedal in a car. It triggers the fight-or-flight response, providing the body with a burst of energy so that it can respond to perceived dangers.
Detailed explanation-2: -The fight or flight response is an automatic physiological reaction to an event that is perceived as stressful or frightening. The perception of threat activates the sympathetic nervous system and triggers an acute stress response that prepares the body to fight or flee.
Detailed explanation-3: -When you sense danger-whether it’s real or imagined-the body’s defenses kick into high gear in a rapid, automatic process known as the “fight-or-flight” reaction or the “stress response.”
Detailed explanation-4: -This chain of reactions results in an increased heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate. 3 Your body can stay in fight-or-flight for 20 to 60 minutes after the threat is gone, which is how long it takes for the parasympathetic nervous system to return it to pre-arousal levels.
Detailed explanation-5: -Fear is an emotional state that when a dog/animal feels threatened or scared by a trigger, the four fear responses, flight, fidget, freeze or fight through a physiological and sensory nervous system response (SNS) to protect them from danger.
