Question

before the show (answer before you start video) a. brainstorm! what type of processes are going on in your body right now, without you thinking about them?

Explanation:

The question is about identifying involuntary body processes (like respiration, circulation, digestion, etc.). In Natural Science, Biology (subfield: Biology) studies body systems and their automatic functions. These processes are controlled by the autonomic nervous system, e.g., breathing, heart beating, digestion.

Answer:

The subfield is Biology (under Natural Science). The involuntary processes include: 1. Respiration (breathing, gas exchange in lungs and cells). 2. Circulation (heart pumping blood, blood vessel function). 3. Digestion (enzyme breakdown, nutrient absorption, peristalsis). 4. Metabolism (cellular energy production, nutrient processing). 5. Hormone regulation (endocrine system, e.g., insulin release). 6. Immune responses (white blood cells fighting pathogens). 7. Thermoregulation (sweating, shivering to maintain temperature).
