Answer:By the sympathetic branch.

Explanation: The two branches of an autonomic systems are the Sympathetic branch and the Parasympathetic branch.

The sympathetic branch alone both relaxes the bronchial muscles to open the airways and allow more airflow, as well as increases the heart rate to move blood to the muscles faster.
