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.

  • Coffee smell and alarm sound - somatic sensory
  • yawning and stretching - somatic motors
  • salivating - autonomic (parasympathetic) motor
  • rumbling of the stomach - enteric motor
