The peripheral nervous system is involved in both <u>voluntary and involuntary actions.</u>

Explanation:

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is the neural system that resides outside the central nervous system (CNS). This contains nerves which in turn connect with the organs of the body like the sensory organs, glands, blood vessels, muscles etc with the central nervous system (CNS).

The PNS is divided into somatic and autonomic nervous systems.

The somatic nervous system contains sensory and motor nerve fibers which send sensory information and controls motor functions respectively. The voluntary movements of skin, skeletal muscles, bones, and joints are controlled by somatic PNS.

The autonomic nervous system composed of sympathetic, parasympathetic and enteric nervous systems controls the involuntary actions of smooth muscles of the internal visceral organs.

Answer:

Contracted blood vessels

Explanation:

The volume of blood is reduced as the vessels are more narrow due to the contraction, so less blood reaches the respiring tissues, causing the force of blood flow to increase as there is less space for normal blood flow to occur. This means that blood pressure increases.

"during expiration, which best describes the role of the diaphragm?"
Scilla [17]
During respiration, the diaphragm moves upwards and returns to dome shape from the flattened shape before during expiration.

This movement of diaphragm can decrease the lung volume, increase the pressure inside and thus force the air out. This process is expiration.

However, if we breathe in again, which makes that inhalation, the diaphragm moves downwards into a flat shape so that it can increase the lung volume and thus we can breathe in as much air we can. This process is completely opposite from expiration.
