The fight-or-flight response is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, which prepares the body for action by increasing heart rate, dilating airways, and releasing stress hormones like adrenaline. This response helps the body to either confront a threat (fight) or flee from it (flight) in order to ensure survival.
