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.
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.
Identify which of your senses have been used. From initial receptor to regulatory center to any motor output, trace the pathway of…

- Biting flies can transmit diseases and cause loss of blood for animals in nature. Horses have developed behaviors to repel biting flies such as ear twitching, head tossing, leg stomping, and tail swishing. Which statement best describes the interaction between body systems that allows horses to repel biting flies?arrow_forwardWhat type of nerve cell would carry impulses from the scent receptors in your nose to your brain?What type of nerve cell would carry messages from your brain to the muscles in your leg?arrow_forwardFigure 35.3 Which of the following statements is false? The soma is the cell body of a nerve cell. Myelin sheath provides an insulating layer to the dendrites. Axons carry the signal from the soma to the target. Dendrites carry the signal to the soma.arrow_forward

If the speed limit in a certain highway is 60 kilometers per hour (km/h) and you are driving at a rate of 20 km/h, the cars behind you will become inconvenienced and will start blowing their horns. Thus, you step on the gas to speed up. Stimulus: Response: Type of mechanism:arrow_forwardJackrabbits (Figure 7) live in the desert where they are exposed to extremely hot daytime temperatures. Discuss how the large ears and circulatory system help them to stay cool in areas without much shade and the benefits of this strategy.arrow_forward
- in which types of living beings the fastest responses to a stimulus occurxarrow_forwardImagine you are sick and you have fever. Sensors on the skin and brain detect this and communicate with the temperature regulatory center in the brain which then sends out a command to the sweat glands of your body as a result of which you start sweating and in about 15 mins your body temperature comes back to normal for the time being. This this feedback loop, identify the following: sensors control center effector stimulus responsearrow_forwardWhich of the following terms does A counteracting response, or being inversely proportional to the stimulus belong to? a.)Control center b.)Homeostasis c.)Stimulus-response model d.)Negative feedback e.)Positive feedback f.)Feedback modelarrow_forward
- 1) which of the following is not a function of dendrites? A) provide enormous surface area for receiving signals from other neurons b) generate nerve impulses and transmit them away from the cell body c) convey incoming messages toward the cell body d) produce short distance signals called grades potentialsarrow_forwardWhich of the following is incorrect? Select one: Equilibrium requires a constant input of energy. Positive feedback is less common in nature than negative feedback. Homeostasis does not imply that a given variable is unchanging. Fever is an example of resetting a set point. Efferent pathways carry information away from the integrating center of a reflex arc.arrow_forwardWhen our body temperature rises above 37°C or 98°F, a negative feedback mechanism will be triggered to lower the body temperature. As a result, our sweat glands release sweat to cool the body temperature. Which part of the negative feedback mechanism is the sweat gland? A) effector B) receptor C) stimulus D) control center stimulus effector control center receptorarrow_forward
