While driving home, Henry watched as a large truck drifted into his lane from oncoming traffic. Henry's central nervous system integrated this information to determine the position of his own vehicle, and then he made a decision to swerve his vehicle
closer to the side of the road to avoid a head-on collision. From this scenario, determine the sensory information and his motor functions.
What will be an ideal response?
The collection of information about one's internal and external environment qualifies as the sensory information. In this example, Henry noticed the truck heading into his lane from oncoming traffic using visual input. Upon integrating the information, Henry made a decision to initiate motor output to his skeletal muscles to swerve his vehicle closer to the side of the road.
