In response to acute stress flight or fight response occurs and it is under the control of sympathetic nervous system.i t causes dilation of pupil in the eye,ic causes piloerection and perspiration of skin, bronchodilation,in skeletal muscle activity.E epinephrine and norepinephrine are the primary neurotransmitters of sympathetic nervous system.

Parasympathetic nervous system is involved in flu.

It causes -pupillary constriction,d decreases blood flow to skin there by making the skin dry,c causes intestinal motility and relaxation of sphincters, and dnt have any effect on skeletal muscle. Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system.

Jack is an Alzheimer's patient as his age is a great risk factor for the disease and memory is the early symptom of Alzheimer's disease.this can't be dementia because insight is present. cholinesterase inhibotors can be used to treat the symptoms.
