Fight or flight

Fight or flight is the physical reaction of an organism to a perceived threat within the environment. It is an inherent trait found in all animals (including humans) that ultimately promotes the survival of a species (via natural selection).

When the fight or flight response is activated, the cardiorespiratory system is given immediate emphasis while the digestive system takes a step back, thus why one loses appetite during a stressful event. Generally, the organism's body gets prepared to either deal with the threat or flee away from it.

Fight or flight response makes up the first stage of the general adaptation syndrome.
When the tiger pounced on the gazelle, the gazelle's fight or flight response kicked in and is what enabled the gazelle to flee from the tiger in a swift and nimble manner.

Fight-or-Flight Math

Fight-or-flight math makes it hard for us to think clearly, logically, and reflexively. Let not negative emotions take control of our reactions.
