The fight or flight response (also known as the acute stress response), refers to a physiological reaction that occurs when we are in the presence of something that is mentally or physically terrifying. • The fight-or-flight response is triggered by the release of hormones that prepare your body to either stay and deal with a threat or to run away to safety. The term "fight-or-flight" represents our ancient ancestors' choices when faced with danger in their environment. • The physiological and psychological response to stress prepares the body to react to the danger.

Fight Or Flight Response 

In response to acute stress, the body's sympathetic nervous system is activated by the sudden release of hormones. • After the threat is gone, it takes between 20 to 60 minutes for the body to return to its pre-arousal levels. Physical signs that can indicate the fight-or-flight response has kicked in include: • Dilated pupils: In times of danger, the body prepares itself to be aware of its surroundings • Pale or flushed skin: Blood flow to the surface area is reduced • Rapid heart rate and breathing: Provides the body with oxygen • Trembling: The muscles tense and become primed for action

What Heppens During Fight Or Flight Response 

The fight or flight response plays a critical role in how we deal with stress and danger in our environment. When we are under threat, the response prepares the body to either fight or flee. • The fight-or-flight response can be triggered by both real and imaginary threats. By priming your body for action, you are better prepared to perform under pressure. The stress created by the situation can actually be helpful, making it more likely that you will cope effectively with the threat. • while it happens automatically, It doesn't mean that it is always accurate.

Why The Fight Or Flight Response Is Important 

The fight-or-flight response is a physiological reaction that either prepares our bodies to stay and fight or to flee. Learn how this response works.

The Fight-or-Flight Response Prepares Your Body to Take Action

Plastic pollution creating microplastics is a growing concern for human health as emerging studies find them everywhere from drinking water to in fish, seafood and birds. Last year, the World Health Organization urgently called for more research into the health impacts of microplastics and a crack down on plastic pollution.

Microplastic particles are now detectable in human organs🤔

Now another <a href="https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/pressroom/newsreleases/2020/august/micro-and-nanoplastics-detectable-in-human-tissues.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">new study </a>presented yesterday at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Fall 2020 Virtual Meeting has found evidence of chemicals from plastics inside human organs and developed a new method for detecting microplastics in human tissue samples.

Evidence of a new study💡

Scientists define microplastics as plastic fragments less than 5 mm, about 0.2 inches (D). Much previous research on microplastics and nanoplastics have focused on its accumulation and effects in marine life, with <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40572-018-0206-z" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">particular focus on seafood </a>that human's consume. Microplastics have been associated with <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969719346169" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">neurotoxic effects in wild fish </a>and increase oxidative damage which can theoretically lead to a greater risk of cancer.

📌Specific definition of microplastics 

Humans <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/oct/22/microplastics-found-in-human-stools-for-the-first-time" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">do ingest microplastics </a>and they do at least pass through the digestive system as evidenced by the finding that they were widely found in fecal samples from people all over the world. Very little is known about whether they go elsewhere in the body after ingestion or what health effects they have.

Human tissue samples from a large repository which was set up to study neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and developed a new method to test the samples for plastics. They artificially spiked the samples with microplastics to test their new method and were able to detect the plastics.

📢Sample of ideacy 

The scientists tested 47 tissue samples from 4 different organs, finding a chemical used to make some plastics in every one.
