Human Anatomy, Period 3
Elliot came into class scowling and with very drenched hair. She was carrying a muddy plastic bag with something moving inside of it, and if some of her students looked a little different, it took her most of her lecture to notice it. "So today, we are going to talk about -- first off, why will it not stop raining? And why is it that I can't manage to get a simple order for lab earthworms through the mail? I swear, these conditions ..." she trailed off. "Anyhow, I am supposed to introduce you to the nervous system, which is my personal second-favorite."
She threw up a slide. "The nervous system coordinates the activity of the muscles, watches the organs, constructs and halts input from the senses, and initiates actions. Major parts of the nervous system are the brain, the spinal cord, and the nerves throughout the body. Prominent participants in a nervous system include neurons and nerves, which play roles in such coordination. All kinds of parts of nervous system are made of nervous tissue. There are four kinds of nerves - motor, sensory, afferent nerves and interneurons. And you can divide the nervous system into the somatic nervous system, which is under conscious control, and the autonomic nervous system, which is not."
She ran a hand through her wet hair and continued her lecture before reaching into the wriggly bag. "Your experiment today might seem a little juvenile, but I swear it's fun. Basically you're going to figure out which end of the earthworm is smarter by testing its sensitivity to sound, touch, and smell. Pair up, grab a bottle of rubbing alcohol, and I'll be around with the worms."
