Question
Chapter 46.1, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
Examples of brain-body feedback loops which influence:
Voluntary behavior by a conscious sensory stimulus.
Involuntary behavior by a conscious sensory stimulus.
Involuntary response by an unconscious stimulus.
Introduction:
The nervous system in mammals is composed of the central nervous system (CNS) having the spine and the brain in it. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) have cranial and spinal nerves in it.
