question 16 (2.5 points)
while on spring break in acapulco, may decided to try cliff diving. as she stood at the edge of a 50 - foot cliff, her heart raced and her respiration increased. she also began to sweat profusely. which division of mays autonomic nervous system was activated by this experience?

• parasympathetic
• peripheral
• sympathetic
• somatic

Explanation:

First Question (Nervous System Functions)

The nervous system's functions for sensory information follow the order: first, receive (detect sensory input like touch), then transmit (send the information to the brain/spinal cord), and finally integrate (process and make sense of the information). So the correct sequence is receive; transmit; integrate.

In a stressful situation (like cliff diving), the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system is activated. It triggers the "fight - or - flight" response, causing increased heart rate, respiration, and sweating. The parasympathetic is for rest - and - digest, peripheral is not a division of the autonomic nervous system (it's part of the nervous system's structure), and somatic controls voluntary movements.

Answer:

B. receive; transmit; integrate
