Question

1.How does the brain tell the lungs to slow breathing? 2.Name a situation that might make your heart beat fast? What drugs cause a similar reaction?3.What are some actions that include both voluntary and involuntary responses?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. It also monitors a person's current environment (both external and internal) to help them survive. If respiration needs to be slowed, the brain sends messages through the peripheral nervous system to the lungs, causing the lungs to slow down.

2. What Causes a Racing Heart?

1. heavy exercise.
2. stress, fear, anxiety, or panic attacks.
3. low blood sugar or low blood pressure.
4. fevers, anemia, and dehydration.
5. pregnancy or menstruation.
6. too much alcohol, caffeine, or nicotine.
7. illegal drugs like ecstasy, methamphetamines, or cocaine.

When I'm scared, or when I run fast, my heart beats faster. Drugs that can cause the same reaction in a person include cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription stimulants (at high doses or taken inappropriately, such as snorting).

3. Some functions are involuntarily performed, such as breathing, digestion, heart beating, eye reflexes, etc., but some involuntary actions have voluntary control to a certain extent – examples are breathing, salivation, deglutition (swallowing), defecation, micturition (urination) and others.
