The heart rate is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. The system has sympathetic and parasympathetic branches. Describe the various factors influencing these branches and “why” it is logical for these effects to occur. For example low oxygen or high carbon dioxide.

If a scientist wants to specifically examine whether an anti-anxiety medication is effective at reducing anxiety levels compared to the anxiety levels of a comparison population of people who do not take the anti-anxiety medication, the left-tailed research hypothesis is that: The anxiety levels of those who took the anxiety medication will be lower than the comparison population. The anti-anxiety medication is not effective at reducing anxiety levels compared to the comparison population. The anxiety levels of those who took the anxiety medication is different from than the comparison population. The anxiety levels of those who took the anxiety medication will be higher than the comparison population.

Individuals with severe anxiety disorders may find many aspects of their lives adversely impacted. Adele experiences panic disorder that affects her career. Howie Mandel's obsessive-compulsive disorder has affected his personal life and professional life. Both pharmacological and psychological treatments are helpful in treating anxiety disorders such as these, but research indicates that they may sometimes interact. Which do you think is more effective – combining drug and therapeutic treatments, or therapeutic treatment alone? Provide examples of specific treatments based on your text.
