Response And Relex Flashcards
Reflex
Rapid automatic response to pretext from danger
3 neurones reflex arc made up from
Sensory
Relay
Motor
Simple responses
Taxis and kenesis
Keep organisms within favourable conditions of environment
Taxes
Entire body towards a favourable stim or away from unfavourable stim
Towards = poss taxes
Away = neg taxes
Kinesis
Organisation changes speed of movement and the rate changes direction
Moves from beneficial stimuli to harmful stimuli increase rate it changes direction - return to favourable conditions quickly
Receptor
Detect stimuli
What does the stimulation of a recent lead to
Establishment of a generator potential causes a response
Name three receptors
- Pacinian corpuscle
- Rod
- Cone
Pacinian corpuscle
Membranes have stretched mediate sodium channels
Open allow Na+ enter sensory neuron when stretched and deformed
Pressure applied deforms neurone, stretches widens Na+ channels so Na+ diffuses in = generator potential
