Bee Sting

1. Describe the metabolic process providing your energy while you were walking (at an easy pace) before the bee stung you. Include which molecules are being consumed, the various intermediate molecules and which energy molecule is being regenerated.

2.

3. Trace the sound of the bee from your outer ear to perception. (Include all focusing, conduction, transduction, transmission and perception processes and structures)

4. Turn your head to the right. (Create a table* that describes which muscles move which bones across which joints under the control of which nerves)

5. Trace the image of the bee to perception. (Include all focusing, transduction, transmission and perception processes and structures)

6. Move your left hand to swat the bee (Create a table* that describes which muscles move which bones across which joints under the control of the nerves) limit your discussion to the movement at the shoulder and elbow only (do not include and un-needed muscles nor discuss the movement of any other joints)

7. Choose one of those muscles and trace its control from the appropriate brain structure all the way to the NMJ. Be sure to include all intermediate structures, synapses, tracts, plexuses and nerves.

8. Feel the pain of the stinger in your skin.

A. What layers of the skin are penetrated and what tissue types make them up?

B. Trace the pain sensation from the receptors to perception. Include all intermediate structures (Nerve, Plexus, Root, Horn, Tract,ect) in order.

9. Explain you autonomic response to this event. State which division is taking control and describe exactly how that division will effect breathing rate, heart rate, and pupil size. (Note: don’t just describe the effect, but describe the control pathway that leads to that effect, including any chemical...
