Michaela is very stressed out and decides to get a massage. in order to fully experience the stress-relieving benefits of touch, the three functions of her nervous system must be intact. that is, her nervous system has to be able to first then and finally sensory information.

That is, her nervous system has to be able to first "process", then "transmit", and finally "integrate" sensory information.

The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, sensory organs,  and the majority of the nerves that associate these organs with whatever remains of the body. Together, these organs are in charge of the control of the body and correspondence among its parts.  

To start with, the sensory system gathers tactile contribution from the body and outer condition, the sensory system at that point processes and interprets the sensory  information. Lastly, the third primary function of the sensory system is to react suitably to the sensory input.

answer; inductive techniques;

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
