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.


ANSWER: 

Hearing the alarm as a sign of preparation for school and the act of being able to smell the coffee are classified as somatic sensory. Moreover, stretching and yawning are examples of somatic motor; salivating is autonomic (parasympathetic) motor; and stomach rumble is classified as enteric motor.
