Feedback:
The most common pathway for the stress response is through the sympathetic nervous system, which uses norepinephrine to stimulate body systems, arousal, and anxiety in response to stress. This response overrides the control of the parasympathetic nervous system, which slows metabolic processes. The cardiovascular system and musculoskeletal system respond because of sympathetic stimulation.
