It was very dark as Carol walked home from the library. She was thinking about tomorrow’s test when she heard heavy breathing and then felt a strong hand on her shoulder. She turned and stared into the terrifying eyes of a huge man hold a chain saw. Without thinking, she swung her book bag with all her might, hit the enormous man in his stomach, knocked out his breath, and saw him double over. Carol ran home faster than she had ever run before. Her roommate couldn’t believe that 5-feet-1, 98-pound Carol had the strength to knock out the man’s breath and speed on the home. When Carol first got home, her heart was pounding, her breathing was rapid, her nerves were on edge, she was still sweating, and her mouth was dry. It was not until several hours later that Carol had calmed down enough to go to sleep. Which part of Carol’s nervous system gave her the strength to knock out the man’s breath and run home faster than the wind? What part of Carol’s nervous system helped calm down her body? What did Carol’s nervous system do to help her escape the mugger? What did Carol’s nervous system do to help her calm down?
