Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Your sympathetic nervous system is the part of your nervous system that carries signals related to your “fight-or-flight” response. That makes it a key part of your response to stressful situations.
Detailed explanation-2: -These responses are brought about by changes in activity in the sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric components of the visceral motor system, which govern smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands throughout the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -Increased activity in the sympathetic nervous system leads to increases in sweating (electrodermal activity), respiration rate, heart rate, blood pressure, vascular vasoconstriction and pupil dilation.
