Question
Chapter 24.7, Problem 2MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The role played by the senses in the maintenance of homeostasis.
Introduction:
The nervous system is a complex system of self-rule, and its main function is integration. A sensation is a raw input from the peripheral nervous system that reaches the central nervous system. The brain integrates all these sensory inputs, consults memories and forms perception.
