  2. Fight-or-flight response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fight-or-flight_response

    A typical example of the stress response is a grazing zebra. If the zebra sees a lion closing in for the kill, the stress response is activated as a means to escape its predator. The escape requires intense muscular effort, supported by all of the body's systems. The sympathetic nervous system's activation provides for these needs. A similar ...

    Response can be twofold: the extracellular matrix, for example, is a conductor of mechanical forces but its structure and composition is also influenced by the cellular responses to those same applied or endogenously generated forces. [10]

    Effector muscle innervated by the efferent nerve fiber carries out the response. A reflex arc, then, is the pathway followed by nerves which (a.) carry sensory information from the receptor to the spinal cord, and then (b.) carry the response generated by the spinal cord to effector organs during a reflex action.

    The response of the cell diminishes very quickly and then stops. [2] It does not provide information on the duration of the stimulus; [3] instead some of them convey information on rapid changes in stimulus intensity and rate. [4] Examples of tonic receptors are pain receptors, the joint capsule, muscle spindle, [3] and the Ruffini corpuscle.

    The etymology of the word "morphology" is from the Ancient Greek μορφή (morphḗ), meaning "form", and λόγος (lógos), meaning "word, study, research".
