Module 5 Discussion: Discuss and Debate

Overview

With all the different nervous systems in our body, how do we keep them all straight? For example, some organs have dual innervation, which means that these receive both the action of the sympathetic nervous system and the action of the parasympathetic nervous system. The effects of both subdivisions of the nervous system are totally different. This Discuss and Debate assignment is aimed at helping you organize and explore the functions of the different nervous systems.

You should spend approximately 4 hours on this assignment.

Instructions

4. Organize your assignment in a way that is most helpful to you for understanding the different functions of the nervous systems. You may have to conduct some additional research to answer these questions. This will help you in your Research and Report assignment.

   Create a diagram, image, or presentation that covers the following points:

   • Choose one organ of the body that has dual innervation, and explain the action of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems on that organ.
   • Cite the main nerve plexuses of the body and mention their territory of innervation.
   • Mention the three layers of the eye and their functions.
   • Mention the three divisions of the ear and their functions.
   • Mention the general structures and functions of the taste and smell senses.
   • How can autonomic nervous system imbalances create problems or failures in our bodies?

Students should demonstrate their own knowledge in the forums and avoid copying and pasting from web sites. Responses will be graded directly from the Forums.Make sure you are using credible sources in your discussions and assignments. Scholarly journals are the preferred source of credible/quality references. These consist of peer-reviewed articles published in academic journals related to the field, which are found via our Library. Websites such as Investopedia, ask.com, answers.com, or dictionary-type of websites limit the insight to the topics. Wikipedia is not acceptable as it is not a reliable or credible source of reference. The purpose is to bring in new information and how does it apply to our topic from a real-world perspective, instead of extending on definitions that are found in the book.More information what a credible source consists of can be found here: http://writingcommons.org/evidence/supporting-sources/630-what-might-be-a-more-credible-reliable-source.Your grade earned for your responses will be based on the Forums Grading Criteria:
