Fight response

In blood vessels these cause vasoconstriction. Blood vessels with i-receptors are present in the skin and the gastrointestinal system, and during the flight-or-fight response there is decreased blood flow to these organs. This is the reason people can appear pale when they have been frightened.

Heroin, morphine, and codeine can constrict the pupil. Moreover, the pupillary fight response is enhanced. This response appears to be due to action on the central nervous system, possibly on the visceral nucleus of the oculomotor nuclear complex. Note, however, that either heroin or cocaine abuse can be associated with mydriasis if the drug is mixed with scopolamine or atropine.

The overall importance of octopamine in insects is emphasised by the destructive influence of the formamidines and PIIs. Thus octopamine orchestrates appropriate behaviors and "prepares" the insect for stressful conditions. It mediates a "flight or fight" response. Disturbing octopamines homeostasis results in behaviors occurring at inappropriate times. Clearly a complete understanding of octopamine in insects may well lead to the development of... 

The circulatory system is controlled by epinephrine released into the circulation from the adrenal medulla, and NE released from nerve endings of neurons projecting from the locus ceruleus to the cerebral cortex, limbic system, and spinal cord. NE stimulates the conversion of glycogen to glucose in the liver, increases conversion of fats to fetty acids, and relaxes bronchial smooth muscles. These actions are part of the body s response to stress in what has been called the flight or fight response.

Toxics. When stored in areas with ordinary gases, toxics will hamper manual fire fighting response. The toxic gases are not normally considered a fire problem but by preventing manual response, they are. They should not be stored where ordinary combustibles are stored. All toxic gases should be dispensed from vented sprinklered gas cabinets. 

The sympathetic nervous system assists the body in managing the stresses and requirements of the external enviromnent. It is responsible for the "flight or fight" response. Reactions are constantly moderated and adjusted in response to information received by higher centers. Visceral function is fine-tuned Circulation, metabolism, smooth muscle tone, intestinal motility, cardiac function, and pulmonary response are regulated.
