4a) Choose one stimulus from Q. 3, and describe in a complete sentence how the stimulus would travel to the central nervous system (CNS).
4b) Describe in 1-2 complete sentences how the motor commands from the CNS would travel to the effector target organ or tissue. Tell if the motor command will travel via the somatic or autonomic nervous system; explain why.
