Answer:

Sympathetic nervous system

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system is a component of the autonomic nervous system that is responsible for the involuntary actions of the body, such as breathing, heart rate, and digestion.  

The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the body’s reaction to threat or distress by initiating "fight-or-flight" responses which are mostly physiological.

As Nancy perceives a threat to her safety, causing her to worry the more, the part of her brain called amygdala sends across a distress signal to the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus then sends a signal to the autonomous nervous system, which activates the sympathetic nervous system, prompting the adrenal glands to secrete the epinephrine hormone. The secretion of this hormone into the blood system is what initiates the several physiological responses exhibited by Nancy which are termed "fight-or-flight" responses.

grigory [225]
<span>The means is unknown. Filoviruses are known for causing hemorrhagic fever in humans. However, once a human is infected, passing the virus from person-to-person is the means by which others become infected. Most especially is the transmission through infected bodily fluids or objects that have been unsterilized and come into contact with those fluids.</span>

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The term describes cellular respiration

Explanation:

Cellular respiration, also known as internal or tissue respiration can be represented by the equation:

C6H12O6 + 6H2O ---> 6H2O + 6CO2 + Energy (in form of ATP)

From the equation, glucose from the blood is oxidized by oxygen trapped from the air by the nostrils. The main purpose of cellular respiration is to generate energy required by the body for various life activities
