Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Integration by nervous system is a process in which the sensory input is processed and interpreted by the nervous system. On the basis of this interpretation, the decision of what must be done at each moment is taken.

Answer to Problem 1MC

Correct answer:

An example of integration via the nervous system is the decision to go back for an umbrella.

Justification for the correct answer:

Option (d) is given that the decision to go back for an umbrella is an example of integration via the nervous system. In this example, the decision is made by the nervous system by processing and interpreting the input. Thus, it is an example of integration via the nervous system. Hence, option (d) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation for incorrect answers:

Option (a) is given that the feel of a cold breeze is an example of integration via the nervous system. In this example, no decision is made by the nervous system by the processing and interpretation of the input. So, it is an incorrect option.

Option (b) is given that shivering as well as goosebumps in response to cold are an example of integration by the nervous system. In this example also, no decision is made via the nervous system. So, it is an incorrect option.

Option (c) is given that perceiving the sound of rain is an example of integration via the nervous system. In the given example, the nervous system does not make any decision. So, it is an incorrect option.

Hence, options (a), (b), and (c) are incorrect.

Conclusion

In integration via the nervous system, the nervous system processes the input and then interprets it to decide about the action that must be taken.
