Hi everyone
I would ask my teacher this but they are not replying to my emails
I was wondering why the fight or flight response uses hormones if hormones are so much slower to take effect? In fact I suppose my question is how does adrenaline take effect so fast? Or perhaps I am mistaken. I understand that the combination of neural and endocrine activity amplifies the fight or flight response, but I don't really understand how that can be effective if hormones rely on the bloodstream which is a lot slower than neural pathways.
Thanks guys

it uses the HPAC (hormone) pathway when the stressor is chronic and continuous, but the quicker SAM pathway for immediate action
