When we perceive a significant threat to our lives or the lives of others, our sympathetic nervous system is activated.

Blood flows to the muscles, the heart and the vital organs. The liver releases glucose, which is directed to our muscles for energy. Our breathing speeds up and our lungs dilate, sending more oxygen to our brains. We are more alert, with heightened cognition and sensory awareness. By Colleen Stevenson.
