Answer:

Parasympathetic nervous system

Explanation:

Parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) along with sympathetic nervous system (SNS) makes autonomic nervous system (ANS). ANS controls the functioning of internal processes like digestion rate, heart rate, respiratory rate etc. During a threat or stressful situation SNS is activated. It increases heart rate, respiratory rate and directs blood flow towards peripheral muscles as a part of "fight or flight response". When the situation becomes normal, PNS is activated which restores all the vitals as a part of "rest and digest" mechanism.

Since here Byron almost got into an accident, he was scared a lot due to which his SNS was activated. Eventually when he realized that he is out of danger, his PNS got activated which returned his heart rate and blood pressure to normal levels.

Describe how and where each type<br> weathering, erosion, or deposition occurs
Brrunno [24]
Weathering: Weathering occurs in situ (on site, with little or no movement), and should not be confused with erosion, which involves the transport of rocks and minerals by agents such as water, ice, snow, wind, waves and gravity. Weathering processes are divided into physical and chemical weathering.

erosion: Erosion happens when rocks and sediments are picked up and moved to another place by ice, water, wind or gravity. Mechanical weathering physically breaks up rock. One example is called frost action or frost shattering. ... The sediment is dropped, or deposited, in landforms.

deposition: Deposition is the processes where material being transported by a river is deposited. Deposition occurs when a river loses energy. This can be when a river enters a shallow area (this coud be when it floods and comes into contact with the flood plain) or towards its mouth where it meets another body of water.
