Question:

What chemicals are released by the sympathetic nerves as the body responds to stress?

the choices are epinephrine and nonrepinephrine, neutrotransmitter and facilitator, dopamine and acetylcholine; amphetamines and sedatives


Answers:

When your body becomes stressed, your sympathetic nervous system takes over, and the catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine are released. These are what increase your heart rate and give you that "rush" of energy.

Read up on the autonomic nervous system if you're interested in learning more... it's really cool! :)
