Which of the following body responses would NOT occur during sympathetic stimulation
Increased heart rate
Increased sweating
Pupil dilation
Increased urine production

During sympathetic stimulation, the body gears up for action, often referred to as the “fight or flight” response. This means increased heart rate, sweating, and pupil dilation are all about preparing you to react quickly. However, increased urine production is the opposite of what you want when danger is near; your body conserves resources rather than expelling them, making it the odd one out here.

Interestingly, the sympathetic nervous system can also create some surprising emotional effects, like heightened awareness and adrenaline rushes, which can amplify feelings of excitement or anxiety. This adrenaline can lead to a boost in physical performance, which explains why athletes often refer to a “second wind” during intense competition—it’s their body showing off its sympathetic prowess!
