explain the nervous system function INTEGRATION'S (interpretation/anaysis) role on gathered info via the sensation function.   show
🗑
show "Voluntary" - eg Muscle movement // "Involuntary" eg digestion  
🗑
show the analysed info now initiates an appropriate reaction  
🗑
Give an example of a reaction initiated by the nervous systems function RESPONSE   show
