Sensory Systems
|
Key Concepts: Part I 1. Sensory Systems - vision, hearing, tasting, smelling, feeling
Part 2 1. Organization of Nervous systems Terms: stimulus, response, relex arc, learned behavior,
2. Stimulus/Response mechanisms
3. Parts of a Neuron and action potential pathway
4. CNS & PNS
Part 3 1. Types of Behaviors
Science Concepts:
a. All systems of the body are continually working together
(communicating) to maintain balance (homeostasis) by responding to internal and external stimuli, e.g., cell-cell
(B and T lymphocyte interaction, neurotransmitter secretion by nerve cells); organ-organ (hormones trigger
target cells; motor impulses trigger muscles); system (respiratory/circulatory/excretory system interactions, endocrine/digestive/motor and biochemical responses to stress); external stimuli-
organism (hypo/hyperthermia, chemical stimuli affect organs/systems/whole organism; sense reception, nerve response)
b. Human behavior is determined by the state of our internal biochemical environment, our heredity and our life experiences (e.g., innate/learned behaviors).
