Summary Introduction

To describe:  The sequence of process taking place in the nervous system, if an individual is swimming and suddenly spots a shark fin moving in their direction.

Introduction: Neural transmission in the animals takes place by the nervous system. The information is taken up by neurons that transmit the information to the brain for interpretation and then responds. The information is described in the form of stimuli that is detected by neural receptors. Neurons transmit the information to the Central nervous system (CNS).

We regularly make conscious decisions to make specific muscular movements. For example, when using the touch interface of your phone, you make a conscious effort to scroll up and down the screen using your finger. In contrast, there are many muscular movements that cannot be controlled voluntarily. For example, you cannot make your heart stop by thinking about it. Which of the following statements correctly identifies the parts of the nervous system that are involved in voluntary and involuntary actions, respectively? Select one: a. Motor neurons of the somatic nervous system and motor neurons of the autonomic nervous system b. Motor neurons of the autonomic nervous system and sensory neurons of the somatic nervous system c. Sensory neurons of the somatic nervous system and sensory neurons of the autonomic nervous system d. Sensory neurons of the peripheral nervous system and motor neurons of the autonomic nervous system
The extrinsic (extraocular) eye muscles allow you to direct your gaze toward particular objects, while the intrinsic muscles of the eye adjust the shape of the lens and the size of the pupil. These two sets of muscles are controlled by different components of the nervous system. Use logic to answer the following two questions: Group of answer choices Which division of the nervous system controls the extraocular eye muscles?      (somatic "voluntary" nervous system/  autonomic "Involuntary" nervous system)                                   Which division of the nervous system controls intrinsic muscles that adjust the pupil and lens?             (somatic "voluntary" nervous system/  autonomic "Involuntary" nervous system)
Clostridium botulinum is a bacteria that produces a toxin. The toxin is deadly to most animals, because it prevents vesicle movement inside the axons of motor neurons. If a person were to consume food contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, which of the following would most likely occur? flaccid paralysis because their motor neurons would not be able to conduct action potentials along their axons.     spastic paralysis because their motor neurons would release too much acetylcholine at the synapse with a muscle fiber     spastic paralysis because their motor neurons would conduct too many action potentials along their axons.     flaccid paralysis because their motor neurons would not be able to release acetylcholine at the synapse with a muscle fiber
