Question

question 9 (q009) when you receive touch information it is processed in the somatosensory cortex of your brain, which is located in the ___ lobe. a occipital b parietal c frontal d temporal question 10 (q010) while captain montagne is flying the airplane full of passengers from new york to houston, she engages the autopilot so that the plane will fly itself automatically for a while. the part of your nervous system that is similar to the autopilot of the airplane is the ___ nervous system. a central b autonomic c peripheral d somatic question 11 (q011) when elaines hand accidentally touched the hot stove, she quickly pulled it away. she didnt even have to think about it; moving her hand seemed to occur automatically. it is unlikely that this could have been possible without the effective operation of which nervous system? a enteric b sympathetic c parasympathetic d somatic question 12 (q012) after a very stressful midterm exam, sherri needed to relax. as she lay on her bed, she felt her breathing slow and her heart rate decrease. which of the following divisions of sherris autonomic nervous system was likely in control of her organs? a somatic b peripheral c sympathetic d parasympathetic

Explanation:

• Question 9: The somatosensory cortex processes touch - related information and is located in the parietal lobe.
• Question 10: The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary functions in the body, similar to how an autopilot controls the plane's automatic functions.
• Question 11: The somatic nervous system is responsible for voluntary muscle movements. Pulling the hand away from a hot stove is a reflex action that involves the somatic nervous system.
• Question 12: The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the "rest - and - digest" response, which includes slowing breathing and heart rate during relaxation.

Answer:

Question 9: B. parietal
Question 10: B. autonomic
Question 11: D. somatic
Question 12: D. parasympathetic
