Answer:

a. activation of the sympathetic autonomic nervous system by the new experience.

Explanation:

The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system generates a flight or fight response. This is a series of physiological processes that start when a person has any stress, new experience or emergency conditions such as the first diving trip. One such response produced by activated sympathetic division is increased heart rate to pump more blood and deliver more oxygen to body cells and tissues. Also, the person experiences an increased breathing rate to compensate for the increased oxygen demand.

Unlike minerals such as iron and calcium, protein is a macronutrient in the human diet. Why is protein a macronutrient?
Zanzabum

Let's discuss first about difference between micro- and macro-nutrients. Micronutrients are those which are needed in small quantities and their function is not that vast. But macronutrients are the ones which control all the metabolic cycles of the cell, so they are needed in large quantities. This is the basic difference between the two terms.

Proteins are macro-nutrients because they are needed in large amount, as they are involved in some of the most important functions of our body. For example, proteins act as enzymes, involved in immunity, maintaining homeostasis of the body, etc. That is why they are considered as macronutrients.

Jobisdone [24]

Explanation:

The major blood vessels that are connected to the heart include the aorta, the superior vena cava, the inferior vena cava, the pulmonary artery (which takes oxygen-poor blood from the heart to the lungs, where it is oxygenated), the pulmonary veins (which bring oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the heart) and the coronary arteries (which supply blood to the heart muscle).
