    • Increased Rate and depth of breathing
      • Phrenic and intercostal nerves
      • Sternocliedomastoid and pectoralis minor lift ribs up further
      • Abdominal muscles pull down ribs, expiration becomes active
    • Increased heart rate and stroke volume
      • Medulla recruits either sympathetic accelerator nerve or parasympathetic vagus nerve
      • An increase in stroke volume can only be achieved if there is an increase in venous return
    • Increasing blood flow to working muscles
      • Vasodilation increase flow
      • Pre capillary sphincters control blood flow
      • Vasconstriction reduces blood flow
