LOL

Oh also the multiple choice with the parasympathetic ns and the sympathetic ns.

I didn't know if they had opposite effects and work together or if it was impossible for them to both function at the same time.

Pretty sure I chose that they couldn't function at the same time. But it seems like most people chose that they had opposite effects and work together :/ :/

Damn it, I should've just stayed with my first guess and not change my answer.

I said opposite effects but work together.. because I don't think one is ever in full control - just dominant... hmmmm

Hey guys. Im checking in for the first time in this thread.

Im pretty confident. I dont think I could have hoped for any better.

One thing that got me was the sleep talking. I said (NREM, stage 4). The book says it occurs in both REM and NREM. Thanks for the trick question VCAA faggots.

I also didnt appreciate them playing on the inconsistent use of the terms perception and sensation.

I think I got 41-2/44 for the MC question and 45/46 for the short answer.

Ahh, crap. The word 'impossible' should've tipped me off, but nooooo. Dammit.

I said sleep talking occurs both NREM and REM.

[littlebecc]

I laughed out loud @ 'vcaa faggots'

I said 'any stage' coz...um, i remembered lol

They work together to keep the body in place.
SNS increases activity of the body (visceral muscles, organs, glands) in times of threat. The parasympathetic reverses the bodily changes made by the SNS and keeps homeostatis, so in a way they do work together. Would anyone agree?

Also, the goggles one, it was 'absolute' and 'differential' in the first two 1-mark questions yeah?
And the example, anyone come up with that LOL?

I wrote 'The soldier with the goggles will stand still, 10 hidden men will be in the bushes, laying. at each signal, one of them (from closest to furthest) will move. -TIME WAS UP, RAN OUTTA TIME LOL, was gonna write - the point at which the soldier detects movement is the absolute threshold
0/2 marks ftl

same , sleep talking occurs in both NREM and REM and it was in my free VU lecture notes so if its wrong im blaming VU !!!

I said they each work together but have opposite effects. Whatever that was.
I figured hormones take a while to dissipate so the parasympathetic system take a while to kick into gear. I also didnt like the word 'impossible' in the other answer.

Man, what was the answer for the perception/sensation mc? I spent like 5 minutes trying to figure that out LOL.

Also, sleeptalking would 'likely' occur in NREM. more stages to it, more chance. so i wrote 'NREM'

I reckon above 35 for MC, and above 35 for short.ans , i dont aim high.

[littlebecc]

would it be right if you wrote: occurs in all stages of sleep?

[ChairmanMao]

LOL I went there too, footscray? The lecturer took too long on brain&nervous system.

What's done is done guys, let's just hope for the best! and kill unit 4!

[ChairmanMao]

would it be right if you wrote: occurs in all stages of sleep?

I don't think so. the question distinctly asked what 'stage' would sleeptalking most likely occur in.

[littlebecc]

with the perception sensation ones
sensation = reception, transduction transmission selection?
and perception: organisation and interpretation

BUTTT WTF our teacher always told us they can't really be seperated
fucking hate vcaa
