Sea Turtles or Marine Turtles are some of the most loved and sought out creatures of the deep blue sea. These organisms are classified as reptiles and have been swimming around for over 110 million years! In our oceans, we have seven species of marine turtles. They mostly live in warmer clear waters. So, if you are hoping to see a turtle in the ocean in the north, you better not get your hopes up too high. The sensory system is an important and complicated series of receptors and afferent nerves creating networks of pathways to an integrating center. This integrating center is responsible for processing and producing an afferent/ response signal to your body. This integrating center can be located in your brain or somewhere else in your body such as your spinal cord. The receptors on your skin are responsible for detecting mechanical stimuli from the external environment. Different pressure to these receptors will either increase the frequency or decrease the frequency of the afferent signal to the integrating center. An increased frequency will cause a more urgent/painful signal, while a decreased frequency will cause something like an itch. The scorpion is a feared creature by many for its sharp pincers and its long stinging needle on its tail. Scorpions are an arachnid that have 8 legs.
