SENSORY AND MOTOR MECHANISMS AAKAASH VARMA, ROCCO CAPITINI, MICHAEL SCIORTINO, CHRISTINA GOTSIS The following PowerPoint Presentation consists of a concise overview of Chapter 49 in Campbell & Reece’s 7th Edition A.P. Biology Textbook, as well as a series of activities to correspond with each of the following systems covered: sensory, skeletal, and muscular. This PowerPoint Presentation is best viewed as a Slide Show. At the end there is a also a list of online resources to accompany your academic endeavors into this field of biology. Good Luck!!!
SENSORY RECEPTORS transduce stimulus energy and transmit signals to the central nervous system
ACTIVITY: what receptor would you use to sense… THE AURORA BOREALIS? A PHOTORECEPTOR, A TYPE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RECEPTOR!
ACTIVITY: what receptor would you use to sense… MUSIC? A MECHANORECEPTOR!
ACTIVITY: what receptor would you use to sense… PERFUME? AN ODORANT RECEPTOR, A TYPE OF CHEMORECEPTOR!
ACTIVITY: what receptor would you use to sense… PAIN? A NOCICEPTOR (A.K.A PAIN RECEPTOR)!
ACTIVITY: what receptor would you use to sense… PIZZA? A CHEMORECEPTOR!
ACTIVITY: what receptor would you use to sense… HEAT? A THERMORECEPTOR!
ANIMAL SKELETONS function in support, protection, and movement
ACTIVITY: what skeleton would this animal have… AN ENDOSKELETON (HUMAN)! • Can survive in most different types of environments if nourished well • Has many supporting elements to provide physical support on land • Has a great range of flexibility
ACTIVITY: what skeleton would this animal have… A HYDROSTATIC SKELETON (EARTHWORM)! • Lives in moist soil • Moves by a process known as peristalsis • It is not raised off ground and is known to crawl and burrow
ACTIVITY: what skeleton would this animal have… AN EXOSKELETON (LOBSTERS)! • Lives near abrasive shore • Requires shielding from dangerous materials, desiccation, and predators • Must molt periodically
ACTIVITY: what skeleton would this animal have… A HYDROSTATIC SKELETON (FLATWORMS)! • Locomotion occurs by muscular alteration of body cavities • Subject to shock frequently • Stays close to ground
ACTIVITY: what skeleton would this animal have… AN ENDOSKELETON (MAMMALS)! • Extremely flexible • Has many soft tissues • Requires a great deal of movement
ACTIVITY: what skeleton would this animal have… AN EXOSKELETON (INSECTS)! • Very fragile and require protection • Present in many habitats • Growth requires many moltings
MUSCLES occur in antagonistic pairs and move skeletal parts by contracting
TYPES OF MUSCLE FIBERS Brownish-red pigment that binds oxygen
ACTIVITY: what is the password… MYOFIBRIL! • Arranged longitudinally bundles of this comprise a muscle fiber • Made of myofilaments
ACTIVITY: what is the password… CALCIUM (Ca2+) IONS! • Bind to troponin complex to expose myosin-binding sites on thin filament, allowing for contraction
ACTIVITY: what is the password… SARCOMERE! • Repeating unit of a pattern of light/dark bands, arranged by myofilaments
ACTIVITY: what is the password… THIN FILAMENT! • Filament w/ two strands of actin, and a strand of regulatory protein
ACTIVITY: what is the password… MOTOR UNIT! • Collective term for a motor neuron and its controlled muscle fibers
ACTIVITY: what is the password… TETANUS! • Sustained contraction brought about by fusion of twitches that occur in quick succession
ACTIVITY: what is the password… SARCOPLASMIC RETICULUM! • Its membrane pumps calcium (Ca2+) ions from the cytosol into its interior to store them and releases them when an action potential is produced
ACTIVITY: what is the password… TROPOMYOSIN! • Regulatory protein that blocks myosin-binding sites, keeping fiber at rest
ACTIVITY: what is the password… MUSCLE FIBER! • 1 cell w/ multiple nuclei, running muscle length
ACTIVITY: what is the password… TRANSVERSE (T) TUBULES! • Infoldings of plasma membrane along which action potentials move to spread deep into a fiber
