Answer:

Sympathetic Nervous System.

Explanation:

Sympathetic nervous system is one of the parts of Autonomic nervous system and the other part is Parasympathetic nervous system.

As a whole the autonomic nervous system controls the unconscious responses of our body.

The main function of the Sympathetic nervous system is to stimulate the 3F response of the body. Here 3F refers to Fight, Flight and Freeze. Adrenal gland is stimulated by this system which secretes adrenaline. Due to the effect of adrenaline heart neat increases, blood pressure increases, pupils dilate, sweat glands are activated, peristalsis in the gut is inhibited, and kidney secretion increases.

What is the order of the breathing process
NemiM [27]
Step 1-
Your diaphragm moves down as it contracts. Your ribs move outward. These movements make the space inside the chest larger.
Step 2-

Air rushes in through the nose and mouth and passes through the throat. Air then moves past the epiglottis which is open into the trachea.

Step 3

Air moves into your bronchi. The bronchi branch out and end in tiny air sacs, called alveoli.

Step 4

<span>Air moves into your alveoli. Oxygen moves through the walls of alveoli and capillaries, entering the blood.</span>

Step 5

Carbon dioxide moves from the blood through the walls of capillaries and alveoli in order to be expelled by the lungs.

Step 6

Your diaphragm moves up as it relaxes. Your ribs move inward. These movements make the space inside the chest smaller.

Step 7

<span>Your lungs are squeezed and air is pushed out of the alveoli. The air travels back through your bronchi, trachea, and nose and mouth.</span>
