Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When the body is stressed, the SNS contributes to what is known as the “fight or flight” response. The body shifts its energy resources toward fighting off a life threat, or fleeing from an enemy. The SNS signals the adrenal glands to release hormones called adrenalin (epinephrine) and cortisol.
Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct option is ‘Increased storage of glycogen from glucose’.
Detailed explanation-3: -The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) has a wide variety of cardiovascular effects, including heart-rate acceleration, increased cardiac contractility, reduced venous capacitance, and peripheral vasoconstriction.
