sensory n motor mechanisms Flashcards
plants
what are the 4 stages of sensory n motor mechanisms?
stimulus, receptor, control center, and effector
this stage is any physical change in the environment
stimulus
what is conveyed by the stimulus?
sensory information
this is when the presence of a stimulus is received
receptor
what happens in the receptor?
transduction of chemical impulses in the sensory receptors
once the message has been received by the receptor, where will it move to?
control center or our brain
before proceeding to the brain, what must we have?
communication of sensory nerve cells.
this is the response to the muscles or glands to the direction from the brain
effectors
this is the change in plants’ growth in response to external factors
tropism
this is a kind of tropism wherein a plant grows toward the stimulus
positive
this is a kind of tropism where a plant grows away from the stimulus
negative
type of tropism where the movement of a plant in response to light
phototropism
type of tropism where the movement of a plant in response to gravitational forces
geotropism
Geotropism/geotropic wherein the growth of a plant follows the direction of gravitational force
positive
Geotropism/geotropic wherein the growth of a plant is opposite of its gravitational force.
negative
This type of tropism where the movement of a plant in response to water
hydrotropism
this kind of hydrotropism where roots grow toward the water
positive
this kind of hydrotropism is where the shoots grow away from the water
negative
why do the shoots move away from the water?
because it does not collect water but only collects sunlight.
this a typo of tropism in response to touch or CONTACT with a solid object
thigmotropism
what plant part tends to grow in response to the solid object?
tendril/s
give examples of thigmotropism
ampalaya, vines, and grapes
this is the movement in response to environmental stimuli but does not follow the direction of stimuli.
nastic movements
type of nastic movement where it refers to the amount of light intensity
photonasty
this type of nastic movement refers to the touch or vibration
thigmonasty/seismonasty
this refers to the temperature stimulus
thermonasty
