Distractions such as peer passengers (driving someone around your own age) and talking or texting on a cell phone while driving

can be deadly for teens. Driving a friend home from practice or to the movies may seem harmless, but your crash risk doubles if you have one peer passenger in the car and actually more than triples with two or more peer passengers. Cell phones pose another major threat. Although many people consider a hands-free cell a safe option, crash risk is higher when ANY type of cell phone is used. These distractions are so dangerous because they take your focus off of the road and lower your reaction time for dealing with potential hazards. – “Why Teens May Crash,” The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia How does the information in the passage encourage responsible decisions by teen drivers? Talking or texting is deadly for teen drivers. Using a hands-free cell phone is safe while driving. The crash risk doubles for teens with one peer passenger. Distractions while driving lower the reaction time.

Talking or texting is deadly for teen drivers. thus, option A is correct.

<h3>Why should we avoid using our phones while driving?</h3>

Driving while using a mobile device is extremely risky. Physically holding a phone takes one hand away from the controls, increasing the risk of accidents. Dialing is much worse because it demands the user to take their focus off the road.

Sending texts while driving is the riskiest of all distraction-related actions. Sending a text message increases a person's risk of a car accident by 23 times compared to just driving. Compared to other distraction-related pursuits, the figure is staggering.

Which of the ways drugs affect the body do you personally find the worst? explain why.
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Drugs affect your body's central nervous system. They affect how you think, feel and behave. The three main types are depressants, hallucinogens and stimulants:

The one I find personally the worst - Depressants slow or 'depress' the function of the central nervous system. They slow the messages going to and from your brain. In small quantities depressants can cause a person to feel relaxed and less inhibited. In large amounts they may cause vomiting, unconsciousness and death. Depressants affect your concentration and coordination, and slow your ability to respond to situations. It is important to not operate heavy machinery while taking depressants. Alcohol, cannabis, GHB, opiates (heroin, morphine, codeine) and benzodiazepines (minor tranquillisers) are examples of depressants.

Hallucinogens distort your sense of reality. You may see or hear things that are not really there, or see things in a distorted way. Other effects can include emotional and psychological euphoria, jaw clenching, panic, paranoia, gastric upset and nausea. Ketamine, LSD, PCP, 'magic mushrooms' and cannabis are examples of hallucinogens.

Stimulants speed or 'stimulate' the central nervous system. They speed up messaging to and from the brain, making you feel more alert and confident. This can cause increased heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature, reduced appetite, agitation and sleeplessness. In large amounts stimulants may cause anxiety, panic, seizures, stomach cramps and paranoia. Caffeine, nicotine, amphetamines (speed and Ice), cocaine and ecstasy (MDMA) are examples of stimulants.

those are 3 ways it effects, personally I find the first one/ "Depressants" the worst

What are five body functions that monitor homeostasis?
KIM [24]

It regulates temperature, glucose, toxins, blood pressure, and pH.

<span>Temperature
The body must maintain a relatively constant temperature. If it gets too hot, the body employs vasodilation to cool down. This dilates the blood vessels, allowing more heat to escape from them through the skin.Glucose
The body must regulate glucose levels to stay healthy. When glucose levels become too high, the body releases a hormone called insulin. When they become too low, the body converts the glycogen in the blood to glucose.Toxins
Toxins in the blood can disrupt the body's homeostasis. Thus, it signals the urinary system to ensure that the toxins are excreted.Blood Pressure
The body must maintain healthy levels of blood pressure. To do so, the brain sends signals to the heart to speed up or slow down according to the blood pressure.pH
The lungs control the pH amount in the body. If pH levels become unbalanced, the lungs push more or less carbon dioxide out of the diaphragm. This can raise or lower pH levels in the body.</span>
