Chapter 33, Problem 26A

Summary Introduction

To write: The reason that a person does not always have the consciousness of things like wearing of clothes or watches, on the basis of knowledge about nervous system.

Introduction:

The nervous system consists of the central nervous system, the peripheral nervous system and peripheral nerves along with their motor and sensory endings.

Explanation of Solution

The nervous system involves collecting information around us (sensation) and producing responses to that information. It directs daily activities such as waking up; automatic tasks such as breathing; and complex emotional processes such as thought, reading, recalling, and feeling.

Our nervous system has always heard about these things so they do not bother. It's an evolutionary benefit that our nervous system is programmed to assume and it will be steadily overlooked if a response is deemed harmless.

Conclusion

Thus, it is not always necessary to be conscious of things like wearing clothes or a wristwatch as it does not bother the nervous system.
