Do you think a WW in gestalt form can cry(shed tears)? How about laugh? Or pat their head and rub their stomach at the same time?

Anything with a tear duct can cry, and since they are manditory to keep eyes saturated then yes if enough pressure is put on the tear ducts ww can cry, laugh maybe, but it all depends on their sence of humor. The belly head thing I can't do so only werewolves skilled in the arts of useless talents could do it.

I don't see why not, unless wolves don't have tear ducts, and I was never told of this.

How about laugh?

If the joke is funny enough, sure. It would probably sound a bit weird, though.

Or pat their head and rub their stomach at the same time?

That would depend on whether or not the human could do it. That's more of a mental coordination thing.

How about passing gas?

Or placing their hands/paws next to thier head and say...

Nanny-nanny-boo-boo!!!

Depends. Did they have the bean burritos for lunch?

Canines have a third eyelid (nictitans) which stretches across the eye and contains a gland which, along with glands in the ciliary body, acts to lubricate the eye. However, these tear glands excrete an oily substance rather than watery tears: Canines are not able to shed the moist tears of sorrow as humans do, but this doesn't mean they don't cry.

Crying: yes

Laughing: sort-of. It wouldn't look quite like laughing as we know it. Maybe hyena noises, or perhaps panting and yowling

Patting head and rubbing belly: doable, but not likely to get screen time

Hmmmm....so the glands that produces tears in humans changes to produces something else when in Gestalt form.

Does any other gland or organ makes any changes to suit the needs of the werewolf?

all of them?

i imagine the heart and lungs get larger for its edurcane

Hmm, the tear ducts could be half wolf, half human. Some fluid tears can happen then if the WW is really upset or something.
Laughter would most likely sound more like growling kindof then a human laugh. imho
And all mammils fart to my knowledge, so yes, so would a WW

As Vilkacis already stated, wolves have a different method of keeping their eyes moist, but since they are still partly human, it's debatable as to wether or not this transfers in the shift. What I personally think might happen is that a werewolf may appear watery-eyed when sad, but will not actually ever cry.

How about laugh?

Technically yes, but it definitely wouldn't sound like laughter. The more canine reflex would be to pant and wag their tail, but again, they are partially human so the laughing reflex would likely still be present. The only problem is that it would come out more like they were growling or barking.

Or pat their head and rub their stomach at the same time?

Depends on wether or not they could do it when human.
