Description
Recall from the chapter on the central nervous system (CNS) that the general senses detect such stimuli as touch, pain, and temperature. General senses refer to the fact that these receptors are relatively simple and located throughout the body in both the skin and internal organs. The special senses, in contrast, are so named because they convey a specific type of information from specialized sensory organs in discrete locations of the head. For this homework you will;
Imagine you are driving or biking on a high-traffic road and you are approaching an intersection with a four-way stop and railroad train track. Additionally, there are three cars in the other lanes of the intersection and visibility is decreased because of foggy weather conditions.
• Describe what special senses you will use to make the determination to safely proceed into the intersection.
• Then, in a detailed summary, explain the pathways for each of the special senses involved.
• Describe the pathways for the special senses not involved in this case and explain why they are not used.
• Describe how the brain interprets information from each of those special senses.
• Describe how the brain sends messages to the body to react to information from these special senses.
