List the pathway from stimulus to response for each of the following.
A. Stimulus – Stubbed your toe
Response – Hop on one foot
B. Stimulus – Hit biceps tendon
Response – Elbow flexion
C. Stimulus – Smell fresh baked bread
Response : Increased thin watery saliva
A. 1.stimulus-stubbed your toe
2.nociceptor or pain receptor activated
3.afferent pain fibre(peripheral nerve)
4.dorsal root ganglion
5.dorsal root
6.synapse
7.lateral spinothalamic tract
8.reticular formation in mid brain
9.thalamus(sensory relay center)
10.hypothalamus and limbic system(stress response)
11.efferent fibres to effector muscles
12.flexion of affected leg
13.response-hop on one foot
B. stimulus -hit biceps tendon
Response-elbow flexion
C. stimulus-smell fresh baked bread
Response-increased thin watery saliva
