Sympathetic Nervous System;

Norepinephrine (NE)

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system is the part of the autonomic nervous system that controls involuntary body functions when the body perceives a threat or distress. When the sympathetic nervous system is initiated, body functions such as breathing rate, perspiration, heart beat, become increased, thereby outting the body in full alert. These body functions that is often experience are responses referred to as "flight or fight response". The neurotransmitter called Norepinephrine (NE) is secreted to regulate these functions.
