  1. B. Pupils dilate

    During the FoF-R, pupils dilate to let in more light & improve vision
    -The Sympathetic NS stimulates adrenaline release (increasing oxygen, glucose, and energy.
    -Digestive & urinary systems are suppressed
    -Increased: heart rate, respiratory rate, glycogen break down, blood glucose, tremors & sweating
    -Relaxed intestines & bladder
    -Dilated bronchi (increasing respiratory rate to ensure sufficient O2 supply)

    Heart rate INCREASES during FoF response
    Glycogenesis reduces – more glycogen are broken don (glycogenolysis) to increase glucose levels int he blood & ensure supply of energy for FoF-R
