Question

Chavonne was very stressed out and decided to get a massage. In order to fully experience the stress-relieving benefits of touch, the three functions of Chavonne's nervous system had to be intact; that is, her nervous system had to be able to do which three things (in the order listed)?

Answer 1

Sensory, integrative and motor functions

Step-by-step explanation:

The nervous system allows us to sense the touch, aroma or any other stimuli. The process includes three steps: the reception of stimulus (sensory function), process the information (integrative function) and output (the motor function).

To realize the maximum benefits of touch, her sensory receptors present in the skin should sense the stimuli (touch) and send the information to the central nervous system (brain). Brain process the information and send information to the effector organ to produce the required response.

Processing of sensory information by the brain and to make the decision about the response is known as integration. During the motor function, information from the brain is carried to effector organs (skin, here) to produce the respective output.
