hey guys
basically i just wanted feedback on my extended response scenario i did on nervous system functioning so would be appreciated if feedback was given: I wrote the scenario + the question + my response . In terms of feedback i'm looking for mostly these things.
- what i did well
- what areas i need to improve in
- sentence structure (if i am writing in the correct format and using the write terms in my response)
- and also since this is out of 10 can you tell me how much would i get out of 10 please thank you.
And also feel free to add anything else that i may have missed
Scenario: Max has just turned 5 and for his birthday his parents gave him a spiderman bike. As soon as he unwraps it he pleads with his father to take him for a ride. It is very windy outside, but eventually his father agrees. While Max is riding, a big gust of wind blows up and Max shuts his eyes to try to prevent the dust getting in them. Unfortunately, this causes him to swerve out onto the road. His father sees this all happening and runs to grab Max off the road and out of harm’s way.
Outline at least 4 different nervous systems that are active in this scenario. Ensure you acknowledge the interactive nature of these nervous systems. (10 Marks)
My Response
In this scenario, different nervous systems were activated to cause different responses. In this example, while Max is riding his bike, his somatic nervous system has been activated. This leads to him being able to move his skeletal muscles to ride his bike and he does this voluntarily. While Max was riding his bike, a gust of wind being blown causes Max to shut his eyes so that dust does not go into them. This activated the autonomic nervous system as Max was not in control of this response. When Max swerves out of the road and his father sees that happening his body goes into the fight- flight-freeze mode which happens when the sympathetic nervous system is activated. The information he processes of the situation goes to the Central Nervous System (CNS) and then forms a decision. Then he chooses to fight the situation which leads to information being sent to the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) which led the father to grab Max off the road. These nervous systems are all interactive with each other as one system triggers another system based on the situation you are being faced with. The Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) would always be connected to any response as their roles is to convey information to the brain and back to the body (PNS). In every situation different nervous systems can activate but it depends on what response/ feeling you associate with that situation thus leaving different nervous systems to operate and some of them might not activate because they are not needed in that situation.
