"what happens is of course your reproduction shuts off, immune system shuts off, your digestive system shuts off so that your cortisol and the other, you know, catecholamines and the other sympathetic neurotransmitters and hormones can throw all of your attention to your musculoskeletal system so you can either fight or flight" (said at 0:40:39)
