The Central Nervous System

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 assignment, you will imagine you are driving on a high traffic road and you are approaching an intersection with a four way stop sign 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. You will describe what special senses you will and will not use to make the determination to safely proceed in to the intersection. Then in details summary, explain the pathways for each of the special senses involved. Finally describe how the brain interprets information from each of those special senses. At least 6 minimum peer reviewed sources to support any of your perspective.
