1. My heart rate increased significantly while waiting in line, it was more rapid. Although I don't have any evidence of recording my heart rate, I did take it down. It was around 117 just because of the excitement of the ride, and after the ride my hear rate was a little bit higher around 120.
2. I think my heart rate is affected by the stress of a situation like saying "We're having a pop quiz" would illicit a faster heart rate. This is because the heart is responding withe nerves and chemicals to external forces.
3. Breathing is effected similarly like the heart. It is similar because it's the reaction of the body to the stress of a situation or a chemical change due to fear.
4. My hands grew clammy and cold. Clammy hands occur due to hyperactive nerves, that send signals to
the sweat glands in the skin in the sympathetic nervous system. It is also caused by a rise in temperature in the body.
