Summary Introduction
To explain: Which branch of nervous system regulates the rapid heart rate and a rapid breathing rate while facing an accident.
Concept introduction:
Nervous system coordinates and controls the activities throughout the animal body. It is the complex network of nerves and cells that carry neural messages to the brain from the cell and from the brain to the cell and spinal cord to various parts of the body. Nervous system can be divided into two broad subsystems: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
