    The Central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord.The brain is the control center for all activities in the body.It is made of billions of neurons. The spinal cord is made up of bundles of neurons.Sensory neurons send impulse to the brain.
    All the nerves outside CNS ( Central Nervous System) that connects the brain and spinal cord to other body parts are part of the Peripheral nervous system. The Peripheral nervous system includes 12 pairs of nerves from your brain called cranial nerves, and 31 pairs of nerves from your spinal cord called Spinal nerves.

    I think when a blood vessel gets clogged, the blood flow will be overflown around the clogged part and the vessel will pop because of the pressure given off from the overflowing blood. I think the straws will have a different flow rates because the the bigger straw will allow it to flow much more faster and more efficiently, while the small straw will come out slower than the blood upcoming so the blood will overflow.

    Oxygen debt is when your cells don't recieve enough oxygen during excercise they start respiring without it, creating lactic acid as a result. Debt is simply breathing in the required amount of oxygen needed to get rid of the lactic acid that built up.

    Coughing is of major importance, as it is the body's main method to remove dust, mucus, saliva, and other debris from the lungs. Inability to cough can lead to infection. Deep breathing exercises may help keep finer structures of the lungs clear from particulate matter, etc.
