Animal Biology - Study Guide 2013 Professor: Marty Leonard Room 4060 LSC e-mail: mleonard@dal.ca Below you will find textbook readings and a summary of the lecture material for each of the seven lectures in the Animal Biology unit. I would be pleased if you read through each chapter‚ however‚ I will only test you on the lecture material that corresponds to the sections of the textbook that I indicate below. You will notice that in some of the assigned sections there is material that

begin response Neural Reflex Pathways Can Be Classified in Different Ways * reflex pathways in NS consist of chains or networks of neurons that link sensory receptors to muscle or glands * classified in several ways: 1. efferent division of NS that controls the response/effector a. somatic motor neurons control skeletal muscles b. autonomic neurons control smooth and cardiac muscles‚ glands‚ and adipose tissue 2. CNS location where reflex is integrated (integrating

Introduction: There are three theories of motor development maturation‚ information processing and the dynamic theory. The maturation theory focuses on the neurological factors that affect the development of motor skills‚ and is the term used to describe the innate sequences of physical changes (Macintyre and McVitty‚ 2004‚ pp 57). Whereas the information processing theory focuses on belief that thinking is information processing through senses (Cech and Martin 2005) Within this theory it talks

Reflex and Sensory Physiology. Lab # 4 Satta Charis Bemah Wilmington University Reflex and Sensory Physiology Purpose: What is the purpose of this exercise? The purpose of this lab is focus towards testing our reflexes and sensory physiology. We use these every day but we rarely do understand how much they contribute to our ability to function normally. A reflex is a rapid‚ involuntary motor response to stimuli. We will be conducting several

HN-1 and HN-2 1. The goal of this lab is to help understand a reflex arc‚ study the time taken between a stimulus and a response‚ how the spinal cord and peripheral nerves function‚ and how to measure and record response time related to a stimulus using the Labscribe software. For the second part of the lab‚ electromyograms will be triggered and recorded in order to study the Achilles and patellar stretch reflex and the reflex arc. Also‚ to understand nerve conduction velocity‚ EMG‚ and motor

B) Site of synthesis: 1- In pancreas: Synthesis of taurine in the mammalian pancreas occurs through the cysteine sulfinic acid pathway. First‚ in this pathway is oxidation of cysteine sulfahydryl group to sulfonic acid‚ this oxidation is catalyzed by the enzyme cysteine dioxygenase. In turn‚ cysteine sulfonic acid is decarboxylated to hypotaurine by sulfonoalanine decarboxylase. It is not well known whether hypotaurine is then enzymatically or spontaneously oxidized to taurine. 2- in CNS: Biosynthesis

increase in water temperature increases the collision rate which increases the rate the products are formed.1 If the experiment followed the Q10 model than the reaction rate would double for each 10°C temperature interval and therefore mimic the mammalian Q10 effect. If the Alka-Seltzer tablets are dissolved in water at increasing temperature intervals‚ then the reaction rate will not double. Formulation of Q10 푄10=(푅_2/푅_1 )^10(푇_2−푇_1 )

The purpose of this experiment is to determine the response time for dominant and non-dominant hand for visual stimuli‚ and using only dominant hand to test auditory and tactile response. Also‚ to test involuntary the response time for the reflex of the knee from calculating the distance. Based on my group hypothesis‚ we said that visual stimulus dominant hand had a faster response time than non-dominant hand because the dominant hand is use more often thus repetition creates stronger connection

nerves‚ which carry motor‚ sensory‚ and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and the body. 2. Define the terms reflex and spinal reflex‚ and identify the components of the reflex arc. * A reflex is an involuntary physiological response to a stimulus. A spinal reflex is any reflex action mediated through the center of the spinal cord. The components of the reflex arc include the receptor‚ sensory neuron‚ the integration center the motor neuron and the effector. 3. Define the
