Answer: False

Explanation:

When there is any dangerous situation or someone is frightened, then the flight and fight system of the body gets activated.

At chemical level the body releases  a series of hormones which makes a person alert of the situation. Rather, the respiratory rate, heartbeat, perspiration also increases in the body.

Adrenaline is the hormone responsible for keeping the person alive and alert at this time and to help the body run out of the situation.

The fat and sugar makes our brochi open wider which increases the heart beat and breathing.

Normally the heart beat or heart rate is controlled by the parasympathetic and  sympathetic nervous system of the body. The sympathetic nervous system controls the fight and flight part and the sympathetic nervous system controls the rest and digest part of the body.

So, it is the sympathetic nervous system which controls the heart beat of the body at the time of flight or fight, not the homeostasis.

Explain why you agree or disagree with the diagnosis of ileitis as the reason for the test being requested
Dimas [21]
I have searched for more details about the question:

You are working in a large multi-specialty practice where you and one other person share the responsibility of scheduling necessary diagnostic tests and surgical procedures for the patients. You are preparing to send diagnostic test requests to the hospital lab and you notice that your coworker has written the diagnosis of ileitis on a request for a 24-hour esophageal pH <span>monitoring test.

I disagree with doing a 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring test. In a patient with ileitis, the esophageal pH is unrelated with the condition. Unless the patient as a concurrent disease such as chronic GERD but it should be indicated also in the diagnosis. A more fitting diagnostic test for ileitis would be blood exams such as CBC and platelet count, urinalysis (as UTI can present with signs and symptoms similar to ileitis), and a colonoscopy to directly visualize the rectum, large intestine, and the terminal ileum of the small intestine. </span>
