This can be in written form, graphical form, or perhaps in an audio form such as a podcast. Consider whether your response needs to be edited. Option 1 When you saw the person across the room that you wanted to meet, you walked over to introduce yourself. Your breathing rate and your heart rate increased with the level of your nervousness. After you calmed down, your systems returned to a balanced state. You should now be able to outline the parts of the nervous system and outline how they controlled these changes. Option 2 In the case of a survivor of a motor-vehicle accident who may be aware of pain in her legs but cannot move her legs, what part of the communications pathway was damaged?
