ACTIVITY 1
Your alarm clock woke you up early in the morning as a signal that you need to prepare for class. You stretched, yawned, and began to salivate as you smell the brewing coffee. Your stomach also begins to rumble. List the divisions of the nervous system that are involved in each of these responses.
The list below shows the divisions of the nervous system involved in the following processes.
-
Hearing the Alarm: Somatic Nervous System (involves afferent neurons)
-
Stretching: Somatic Nervous System (involves efferent neurons)
-
Yawning: Autonomic Nervous System (involves the sympathetic nervous system)
-
Salivation: Autonomic Nervous System (involves the parasympathetic nervous system)
-
Smelling the Coffee: Somatic Nervous System (involves afferent neurons)
-
Rumbling of Stomach: Autonomic Nervous System (involves the enteric nervous system)
