Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The neurotransmitter(s) that are released during fight or flight is(are):
A
acetylcholine only
B
acetylcholine and norepinephrine
C
norepinephrine only
D
seratonin
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Epinephrine. Epinephrine (also called adrenaline) and norepinephrine (see below) are responsible for your body’s so-called “fight-or-flight response” to fear and stress.

Detailed explanation-2: -Acetylcholine is the main neurotransmitter of the “rest-and-digest” or parasympathetic nervous system. As a central messenger of this response, acetylcholine counteracts “fight-or-flight” tendencies and drives cholinergic activity in the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Noradrenaline is another neurotransmitter in the human body, which is regularly associated with the body’s fight or flight response to stress.

Detailed explanation-4: -For the most part, sympathetic ganglion cells release norepinephrine onto their targets (a notable exception is the cholinergic sympathetic innervation of sweat glands), whereas parasympathetic ganglion cells typically release acetylcholine.
