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.

What body functions are affected by disorders of the plasma? Select all that apply. blood pressure digestion body temperature ir
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Immune reaction.

Explanation:

Plasma cell disorders are generally uncommon. They begin at that time when a single plasma cell multiplies excessively. This results in a group of genetically identical cells (called a clone), which produces a large quantity of a single type of antibody (immunoglobulin). Plasma cells develop from B cells (B lymphocytes), which is a type of white blood cell that usually produces antibodies. These proteins help the body to fight against infection. This means they help in the immune system. 

In plasma cell disorders, one clone of plasma cells repeatedly multiply, which can’t be controlled. As a result, these clone creates a vast amount of a single antibody (monoclonal antibody) which is known as the M-protein. In some cases (such as with monoclonal gammopathies), the antibody produced remains incomplete, consisting of only light chains or heavy chains (fully functional antibodies usually comprised of two pairs of two different chains called a light chain and heavy chain). The abnormal plasma cells and the antibodies which they produce are limited to one type, and levels of other kinds of antibodies that help in the fight against infections start falling.

People with plasma cell disorders are often at higher risk of infections than others. So, from this discussion, we can say that plasma cell disorder affects the immune system.
