Which hormone controls the fight or flight response?
The sympathetic nervous system. The hypothalamus, in close association with the limbic system of the brain. The "fight or flight" response is the term used for the activation of the sympathetic nervous system. The two main chemicals invoved here are the neurotransmitter "norepinephrine" (noradrenaline) and the hormone "epinephrine" (adrenaline). Noradrenaline is produced in the neurones and is secreted at the synapse to exert its "sympathetic" activity on various organs throughout the body. The nervous system is also responsible for eliciting epinephrine production from the adrenal medulla (a part of the suprarenal glands situtated on the top of each kidney).
