The 'flight or fight' response

Our ancestors developed a set of responses to deal with physical threat. A threat triggers major changes in our body chemistry releasing hormones which improve our ability to deal with the danger. When the threat is over, other chemicals and hormones reverse the response and our bodies return to a normal balance.

This mechanism is known as the fight or flight response. We think there is a threat and our nervous system triggers changes in our body chemistry to allow us to deal with it.
