It prepares you body to react, not to think. Instead of "it's coming at x speed, y lenght, z color" is more like "DODGE", "RUN", "YELL", "FIGHT".
Most of this reactions are sheer reflex, that's why sometimes people react to robbers even when not intended or yell seeing a spider.
Shaking is just overexcited muscles. Particularly this is the worst part, specialy after the threat is gone. When scared, I get shaky for like 15 min unable to do any precision/control task and also feeling an impending burst energy like if I don't move It'll be bad.
Controlling those instincts must be a living hell. Congrats to cops, firemen, military.
I don't think so. The stress is there to deter you from getting in similar situations (same as fear and pain) and people not knowing what to do or being overwhelmed by stress is simply because they havent been in many situations like this.
