Official Question Material
Prep: 30-40 Seconds
Being scared to death boils down to our autonomic response to a strong emotion, such as fear. For fear induced deaths, the demise starts with our fight or flight response, which is the body's physical response to a perceived threat. This response is characterised by an increased heart rate, anxiety, perspiration, and increased blood glucose levels.
