Answer:

Sympathetic nervous system

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system of the autonomic division prepares the body for stress or emergency conditions by generating the “fight-or-flight” responses. The sympathetic nervous system triggers the release of stress hormones from the adrenal medulla to generate the set of physiological responses.

There is dilation of the pupil, and an increased rate of heartbeat and increased blood pressure. Other responses include dilation of airways and dilation of blood vessels that supply blood to skeletal muscles, heart muscles, liver, etc. Under the given emergency condition, the sympathetic nervous system of Meghan was activated to generate the fight or flight response.

Distinguish among eons, eras, periods, and epochs, using specific examples.
andrew11 [14]

In a particular context, “epoch” can refer to a particular point of time characterized by a particular event/series of events.

While “era” refers to a period of time characterized by events in a chronological order.

Thus, an “era” can encompass more than one “epoch”.

“Period” can refer to a short interval of time or a very long interval of time.
For example:

<span>“My period of happiness….”“The period of Four Horsemen…”</span>

<span>“Eon” </span>refers to an indefinitely long time. <span>Eon is presumed to consist of at least 2 eras.</span>
