The stress response is a collection of changes in physical and chemical processes within an organism which occur as a response to any perceived threat within its environment
Also called the "fight or flight" response, it is intended to result in a burst of energy so the organism can fight off attackers and/or run away from danger.
In humans, when we "get stressed", we may notice an increased pulse rate, but other changes will be occurring that we are not necessarily aware of, such as the movement of blood away from the extremities towards the muscles.
