salivation.

Understand that anger is an emotional response that triggers the body's fight-or-flight response, which is part of the autonomic nervous system.
Recognize that the sympathetic nervous system is activated during anger, leading to physiological changes in the body.
Identify that one of the primary physiological responses to anger is an increase in heart rate and blood pressure as the body prepares to respond to a perceived threat.
Note that skin conductance, or galvanic skin response, increases due to heightened sweat gland activity, which is a common response to emotional arousal such as anger.
Consider that increased body temperature can occur as a result of the body's metabolic processes speeding up during emotional arousal, while salivation is not typically associated with anger.
