Discuss the crucial functions of the brain stem.

Read the assigned chapter in the textbook.

Then, answer and respond to the Writing Assignment Items. When responding to each question, these are, in essence, Chapter Essay Questions, which must be answered THOROUGHLY, in your own words,-AND- on what is considered “college-level.” Seldom will one, two, or even three sentence responses be adequate. In fact, many answers will require multiple paragraphs.
Note: At the conclusion of your THOROUGH response to each objective/question, you will clearly indicate the page numbers, in BOLD print please, where you found the material in your textbook.
For every writing assignment, you must ELABORATE, ELABORATE, ELABORATE, and should I need to say it again…ELABORATE. Elaboration is KEY when completing the Writing assignments. In short, elaboration can include examples (personal or professional), more detail about the answer then what was asked, and critical thoughts about the concept. All of this is to show that YOU understand the material!
These assignments are referred to as individual Writing Assignments for two reasons:
a) The responses are to be YOURS and YOURS alone!
To copy material directly from the textbook OR a classmate OR any other source andto submit it as your own work is PLAGIARISM.

ii. PLAGIARISM is illegal and you may earn an immediate and automatic and permanent letter grade of F for the course!

a. Give the corresponding number (1, 2, 3, etc…) for the question you are answering and, and retype the question before giving your answer
