The fight or flight actually has nothing to do with the vertebra at all. The Autonomic and Somatic Nervous systems which are included in the Peripheral Nervous system completely control the Fight or Flight response. The Autonomic controls all the nerves of all Voluntary Functions of the body and the Somatic controls the Non-Voluntary functions. The situation that activates this response is registered in the brain which sends signals to specific parts of the brain which are all included in the Central Nervous System or CNS. Such as, the Frontal lobe which would contain all logical thought processes in decision making as well as coordination. The Parietal Lobe which all senses and perception of the situations around you and so on through all Four Major Lobes. The CNS sends signals to the PNS which is divided. All signals from the frontal lobe would be sent to the Autonomic Nervous System because your thought process as well as being able to coordinate running or hiding is voluntary. The functions of the Parietal lobe would be sent to the somatic nervous system because it contains functions that do not require thought process such as breathing, increase in adrenaline and Pupil dialation.
