If we do not asses our environment, our risk of sickness and disease increases. Any kind of chemical or radiological substances in the air are exposures that can affect our health. Meaning that the air we breathe, foods we eat, the water we drink from, and the products we use can sicken us if they aren't properly cleaned or pure.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

After a good meal, Jane is relaxing comfortably as her food digests, suggesting her <u>parasympathetic</u> nervous system is in control. When she is frightened by a loud noise, Jane's digestion is inhibited and her heartbeat accelerates, suggesting her<u> sympathetic </u>nervous system is in control.

Explanation:

Parasympathetic nervous system and the sympathetic nervous system are two of the 3 domains of the autonomic nervous system.

During the resting and the relaxing stage,<u> parasympathetic system</u> (also called as rest or digest system) is activated which is associated with the conservation of the energy by :

1) Slowing the heart rate

2) Increasing the intestinal activity ( the reason why  Jane is relaxing comfortably as her food digests )

3) Relaxation of the sphincter muscles of the GIT.

While during the fight , flight or fright stage , the <u>sympathetic nervous system</u> is activated which is associated with the body alertness by :

1) Increasing the heart rate

2) Inhibition of secretion of GIT enzymes ( the reason why digestion of JANE is inhibited )

3) Relaxation of the walls and the contraction of the sphincters of the GIT smooth muscle.

Exercise requires the use of oxygen to produce energy.
Alenkinab [10]

It certainly does. If you mean this to be a true false question, then the answer is huge yes.

People with deficiencies in Red Blood Cells will certainly tell you that they are listless and can do very little work because they are not getting enough oxygen going through their bodies. They are not lazy, nor incompetent, because every activity is daunting because they just cannot do the work.

If this in not what you are looking for please leave a note.
