Biology

Assoli18 [71]3 years ago
4 0
The fight or flight system is a reaction that the body undergoes when put in an either stressful or frightening situation. It includes both the nervous and endocrine system. 

The sympathetic division of the peripheral nervous system is used in this response as the sympathetic nervous system works up the body, increases the rate of breathing, heart rate, dilates the pupils, produce more sweat and slow the digestion rate. This reaction happens in the flight or fight system.

the first is fossilized dung, and that's not generally gastropod shells. A carbon film would be something thin, seeing as it's a film, and gastropods aren't that. A gastrolith is a stone swallowed by an animal to help with digestion, and that's also not a gastropod. 

<span>Gastropod fossils may be molds, but usually aren't. Still, they can be. It's a better answer than; film or stomach stones.</span>

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Barroreceptors are specific type of receptors that are present within the membrane or wells of the blood vessels and monitor the changes occur in blood pressure.

The major and important barroreceptors are located in carotid sinus and the aorta for detecting fluctuation in the blood pressure. If blood pressure falls these receptors firing rate decreases and barroceptors reflexes act to increase heart rate in order to restore blood pressure in an individual.

Thus, the correct answer would be - increasing heart rate.
