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.

In ethics does clothes matter or pure aesthetic taste, make sense to become a subject?<br><br><br>​
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Clothes are one of the fundamental necessities of human beings like food and shelter to protect themself from cold, rain, and other environmental conditions. Clothes nowadays become a status symbol and form of expression.

Clothes should not be a subject of ethics as it is their personal choice and clothes also use as a form of art. One should not defy or judge a person by his or her clothes as it a personal choice and environmental necessities.

However, in some cases like school, workplace, there are obligations to follow the dress code, it is a form of ethics but it is to show professionalism and equality among all students and employees.
