Question
Chapter 41.1, Problem 1C
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).
