Adrenaline; AKA: Epinephrine AKA: Norepinephrine all stimulate Alpha 1, Beta 1, and Beta 2 receptors in the body. Stimulating Beta 1 receptors causes less blood flow to non-vital parts of the body thereby giving more blood to important areas such as skeletal muscles, lungs, and brain. Stimulating Beta 1 receptors causes increased heart contraction and the strength of each contraction; this increased blood circulation keeping the blood well oxygenated by the lungs and provides this oxygen to the lungs. Stimulating Beta 2 receptors also causes the airways to enlarge allowing greater airflow to the lungs to further oxygenate the blood. Stimulating Beta 2 receptors also causes arteries to expand to muscles increasing blood to them and causes eyes to dilate to help you see better.
When you bring all this together coupled with the brain just works better on Adrenaline, it just works faster, your responce time is reduced. Muscles have plenty of oxygen and glucose to burn. Your body is ready to preform at its maximum.
Slows reaction time and affects judgement of distances
Using cell phones when driving and using drugs, including alcohol.
There is no direct scientific evidence to suggest that eye color directly affects reaction time. Reaction time is more likely influenced by factors such as genetics, age, and cognitive abilities. Any correlation between eye color and reaction time would likely be coincidental rather than causation.
Fatigue can slow down reaction time by affecting cognitive processing speed and motor response. This can result in delayed reactions to stimuli, reducing performance and increasing the risk of errors or accidents. Rest and proper sleep are essential to maintain optimal reaction time.
I actually speeds it up in theory. Smoking pot increased concentration further more increaseing reaction time. :)_
How the concentration of the reactants affects the rate of a reaction
Alcohol is a depressant that slows down the central nervous system, including brain function. This delay in communication between nerve cells in the brain leads to impaired coordination and slower reaction times. Additionally, alcohol affects the cerebellum, an area of the brain responsible for coordination and balance, further contributing to delayed reactions.
These are called enzymes.
An outside agent that affects the speed or occurrence of a reaction is called a catalyst. Catalysts work by providing an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy, allowing the reaction to happen more quickly. They are not consumed in the reaction and can be used repeatedly.
A precipitate is formed and/or a gas is released.
The temperature of the system
Fatigue affects reaction time because it can decrease our overall alertness and impair cognitive processing. When we are fatigued, the brain's ability to quickly interpret and respond to stimuli is compromised, leading to slower reaction times. Additionally, fatigue can also slow down physical movements, further contributing to delays in reaction times.
