Animal Behavior

Intro, Nervous System

Intro to Animal Behavior (p. 813, ch.33) • This armadillo is jumping after hearing a loud noise • Behavior is a response to a stimulus – What is the stimulus? – What is the response?

Animal Behavior

Intro, Nervous System

Behavior Overview • Animals behavior comes from the nervous system – Nerves carry sensory and motor signals – Brain and spinal cord connect and process signals – Like a computer, telephone, or TV

Where is stimulus? Where is response?

Animal Behavior

Intro, Nervous System

What actually happens:



Can you find these features in the diagram? ___ Response

___ Motor signals

____ Integration

____Stimulus

_____ Sensory signal

_____Spinal cord

Anatomy of a Neuron -- p. 945 - 949 Animals send nerve signals travel through neurons. neurons - neurons carry electric & chemical signals - signal goes one way: in at dendrites, out through axon Important parts: •Dendrites •Cell body •Axon •Terminals •Synapses

Animal Behavior

Intro, Nervous System

Label this neuron: • Axon • Cell body • Dendrites • Terminals

Animal Behavior

Intro, Nervous System

Nerve signal (impulse) occurs when ions move in and out of neurons. • Step 1: “Resting Potential” – Neuron is waiting for signal – More Na+ is on the outside

Animal Behavior

Intro, Nervous System

Step 2: Stimulus starts an “Action Potential” • Na+ moves into neuron + inside, - outside

• Signal moves like a wave through axon

Animal Behavior

Step 3: “Repolarization” • After signal, Na+ moves back out Neuron returns to “resting potential”

Intro, Nervous System

Animal Behavior

Intro, Nervous System

Reviewing Nerve Impulse Which of these is written in the proper order? A) resting potential, repolarization, action potential B) action potential, resting potential, repolarization C) resting potential, action potential, repolarization

Animal Behavior

Intro, Nervous System

Action Potential Identify these points: • Repolarization • Resting potential • Action Potential

Animal Behavior

Intro, Nervous System

Neurons, Energy, and Ions •

Neurons must constantly pump ions across the membrane --> requires huge amounts of energy (sugar, oxygen --> ATP energy) •



If breathing stops, neurons fail first (brain)

Ions lost through sweat must be replaced •

Gatorade better than water after heavy sweat
