Question #2 - Think

​Read the following selection from the article:
As soon as the brain detects danger, it turns on a cascade of chemical reactions. Nerve cells start signaling to one another. The brain releases hormones -- chemicals that regulate bodily activities. Fear-triggered hormones ready the body to either fight or flee. Specialized cells called nerves start sending signals across your body while the brain releases hormones, which are chemicals that control bodily activities."
Why did the author include this information?

I read again & decide that this chunk is here to show how the body's biology works, telling what the brain does, what the nerve cells do, and what happens with the hormones. It's like a biology book.
