Question

It is a dark and stormy night.  Tired from many hours of studying Anatomy, you walk down the steps of the library and step on something that is decidedly NOT concrete.  Whatever it is twists and squirms, letting out a strange squeal.  In a blinding flash of lightning, you see what’s underfoot…it looks like a large black cat or squirrel with a bright white stripe down the center of the tail.  Before you can scream, the darkness returns and a foul, almost unbearable stench hits your nostrils.  You run as fast as you can for your car, but too late…you are drenched in the overpowering odor.

IN PARAGRAPH FORMAT, describe the following in the same story-like manner as above.

  1. Describe how your ANS limbic system respond to such an event.  What division/structures are being triggered and how does your body respond?  Include response of major organs effected.
  2. Identify which of your senses have been used.  From initial receptor to regulatory center to any motor output, trace the pathway of sensation, perception and motor output.  Name each structure IN ORDER.  Include structures of the neuron/nerve/spinal cord/brain/effector organs.  How is the information processed and in what regions?
