Please answer these questions as short answer/essay type questions. Drawings can be used to
help illustrate the ideas, but not without a written component. Use complete sentences and
paragraphs (if necessary) in your answers. 1) Planarians are great study animals for how nervous
systems work and allow for behavior to change depending what environmental stimuli they
encounter. In your own words please tell me how a chemoreceptor that senses salt is able to
communicate that information to the brain of a planarian. How is the function of a the receptors
on a chemoreceptor similar to the function of receptors on a dendrite of a sensory neuron? 2)
Explain how summation works in a cell that is receiving multiple inputs from several different
neurons. What goes into the idea of summation, and how does a cell "know" what to do with
those inputs and then send out a signal to the next cell in the system?.
