Essential Biology E1 Stimulus and Response

Blog resource: http://tinyurl.com/4qmd4qy Click4Biology: http://click4biology.info/c4b/E/E1.htm Cite all sources using the CSE method (or ISO 690 Numerical in Word). The first example has been done for you. Highlight all objective 1 command terms in yellow and complete these before class. Highlight all objective 2 and 3 command terms in green – these will be part of the discussions in class. After class, go back and review them. 
Define the following:
Stimulus ResponseReflex
Label the structures of the spinal vertebra shown in the image (including ventral and dorsal roots)
Draw the reflex arc for pain withdrawal on top of the diagram. Label white and grey matter, spinal cord, spinal nerves, receptor cell, sensory neuron, relay neuron, motor neuron.
Explain the roles of the following in the animal response to stimulus.
ReceptorsSensory NeuronsRelay neuronsMotor neuronsSynapsesEffectors
Explain the advantages of the pain reflex being mediated by the spinal column rather than being a learned, brain-mediated response.

State another term for Fixed Action Pattern.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Fixed action patterns are not learned – they are genetic in basis, can be inherited and are therefore subject to mutation, variation and natural selection.
Explain how natural selection affected the migratory patterns of Sylvia attricapilla.
Common nameOriginal fixed action patternAlternate behaviourAdvantage to individualsEffect on natural selectionExperimental evidence
Explain how natural selection has affected the fixed action patterns of one other species.
Name (latin & common)Original fixed action patternAlternate behaviourAdvantage to individualsEffect on natural selectionExperimental evidence
Read one of the articles. Outline how fixed action patterns have been changed through natural selection and discuss the article with your peers.
