The blood vessels constrict, or tighten, so that blood pressure goes up 5 to 10 points.
The temperature of the skin drops by 6 degrees Fahrenheit (that's because the blood is rushing to the heart, where it would be needed in a real crisis)

The hypothalamus, which regulates hunger, gets a “speed-up” message, so the appetite falls too.
THESE are the first shocking pictures of smoking toddler Ardi Rizal - who throws tantrums if he can't puff 40 cigs a day.

Officials have offered to buy the family a car if he quits.
But fishmonger Mohammed, 30, said: "He looks pretty healthy to me. I don't see the problem."
