I decided to test the question how this fight and flight response effects the body. How it effects the cardiovascular system ( pulse rate) ‚ the respiratory system‚ And Watch out for angry red faces‚ cold and clammy skin‚ signs of a dry mouth‚ increased breathing rates and jitteriness

YAWNING Physiology‚ Theories and Contagiousness First‚ let’s look at what this bodily motion is: Yawning is an involuntary action that causes us to open our mouths wide and breathe in deeply. We know it’s involuntary because we do it even before we’re born: According to Robert Provine‚ a developmental neuroscientist at the University of Maryland‚ Baltimore County‚ research has shown that 11-week-old fetuses yawn. And while yawning is commonly associated with relaxation and drowsiness‚ your heart

The phrase homeostasis is a bit confusing; conditions inside our bodies are not constant but are kept within a narrow
