You are running the mile for PE and your heart rate and breathe rates are both high. You know you are breathing more because your body needs the oxygen to make energy, but why does your heart rate go up?
Your heart just reacts to the increased breath rate.
Your heart is a muscle and feels the rest of your muscles working so it speeds up too.
Your cells need nutrients and oxygen delivered to keep up with up with the demands of your other muscles.
Your brain panics and makes everything speed up.
