DRAW IT The reflex that pulls your hand away when you prickyour finger on a sharp object relies on a neuronal circuit withtwo synapses in the spinal cord. (a) Using a circle to represent across section of the spinal cord, draw the circuit. Label the typesof neurons, the direction of information flow in each, and thelocations of synapses. (b) Draw a simple diagram of the brainindicating where pain would eventually be perceived.
If a mosquito bites you in the forearm, action potentials will have to reach the
CNS before you can perceive the bite and react by swatting the mosquito.
Which one of the following is the correct sequence of events that takes place
from the time the mosquito bites you until you swat it?
O somatic sensory receptors, afferent division, primary somatosensory cortex, primary
motor cortex, efferent division, SNS, skeletal muscles

This first fiber in the pathway synapses on a thalamic cell that then projects to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe where seeing, or visual perception, takes place. This video gives an abbreviated overview of the visual system by concentrating on the pathway from the eyes to the occipital lobe.
