Discuss how the body responds when it is placed under stress from situations such as emergencies or exercise

What will be an ideal response?


Emergencies and exercise place stress on the body, and the body responds by readying itself for action. Some of these responses are noticeable, such as an increased heart rate and tensed muscles. Other body responses that are equally important, but not noticed, are pupil dilation (for improved vision), increased transport of blood sugar to cells (for energy), and increased blood pressure (to better facilitate substance exchange between the blood and the cells).
