Chapter 7: Human Memory Definitions Amnesia Loss of memories for events that occur after a head injury. See Anterograde amnesia, Retrograde amnesia. Anterograde amnesia Loss of memories for events that occur after a head injury. Attention Focusing awareness on a narrowed range of stimuli or events. Chunk A group of familiar stimuli stored as a single unit. Connectionist models Models of memory that assume cognitive processes depend on patterns of activation in highly interconnected computational networks that resemble neural networks. Also called connectionist models.. See Parallel distributed processing (PDP) models. Consolidation A hypothetical process involving the gradual conversion of information into durable memory codes stored in long-term memory.

Ch 50. Sensory and Motor Mechanisms 50.1 ? sensory receptors transduce stimuli energy and transmit signals to the central nervous system by changing membrane potential. Reflex= simplest response circuit Star nosed mole that tactile ( touch) sensors on nose. Sensory Pathways have 4 functions: Sensory reception, transduction, transmission, perception Sensory reception- detection of a stimulus by sensory cells. Specialized nerurons or epithelial cells Exitst signally or in organs like eyes and ears Sensory receptor- descres a sensory cell or organ and he subcellular structure that interacts directly with simuli Detect stimuli OUTside of body like heat, light, and pressure, and chemicals. Inside body include body position, blood pressure, etc

Endocrine System Chapter 45 Overview: The Body?s Long-Distance Regulators Animal hormones are chemical signals that are secreted into the circulatory system and communicate regulatory messages within the body Hormones reach all parts of the body, but only target cells are equipped to respond Send chemicals around the body Specific to target cells 2 LE 45-2a Target effectors Response Simple endocrine pathway Glycogen breakdown, glucose release into blood Liver Blood vessel Pancreas secretes glucagon ( ) Endocrine cell Low blood glucose Receptor protein Stimulus Pathway Example Released compounds will elicit a response Ex: pancreas releasing glucagon with low blood sugar 3 LE 45-2b Target effectors Response Simple neurohormone pathway Stimulus Pathway Example Suckling Milk release

Chapter 13 Meiosis and Sexual Life Cycles Lecture Outline Overview: Hereditary Similarity and Variation Living organisms are distinguished by their ability to reproduce their own kind. Offspring resemble their parents more than they do less closely related individuals of the same species. The transmission of traits from one generation to the next is called heredity or inheritance. However, offspring differ somewhat from parents and siblings, demonstrating variation. Farmers have bred plants and animals for desired traits for thousands of years, but the mechanisms of heredity and variation eluded biologists until the development of genetics in the 20th century. Genetics is the scientific study of heredity and variation.

An Overview Of Nervous System Nervous systems perform the three overlapping functions of sensory input integration motor output CNS Brain Spinal cord PNS Sensory (input) Signals from external environment Signals from skin, tendons, and muscles Signals from internal organs Motor (output) Somatic division (control of skeletal muscle) Autonomic division (autonomic control of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands) Parasympathetic Sympathetic Endocrine (Hormone) *Video by bozemanbiology via YouTube Peripheral nervous system (PNS). Sensory receptors a responsive to external and internal stimuli. Such sensory input is conveyed to integration centers. Where in the input is interpreted an associated with a response.

Performance task #3 1. Hypothesis: If you fertilize the ocean with iron then, it will help reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. 2. Step-by-Step procedure: 1. Dissolve 7 metric tons of iron sulfate in acidic sea water.?? 2. Spew the solution into a ships propeller wash on a specific date covering a circular patch in the eddy. 3. Cover in iron in a circular path for 167 square km (0.01 grams per square meter. ? 4. Monitor the fate of the patch, off and on for 5 weeks while adding supplemental iron fertilizer after every 2 weeks to keep concentrations high enough to promote growth. ?? 5. Record the microscopic life bloomed on a data table.
