This week: Sensing and Responding to the Environment

Sensing and reacting to the environment is critical
![Page 3: This week: Sensing and Responding to the Environment.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649f575503460f94c7bde8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Failure to properly sense and react to the environment can be fatal

CB 48.3
Nerves allow us to perceive the environment while the brain integrates the incoming signals to determine an appropriate response.

In the brain neurons are shorter and highly interconnected

Axon
Signals move along a neuron via movement of ions across the membrane

Ion movement across the membrane causes the signal to travel from one end to the other

At rest a neuron is polarized. The electrical signal is a depolarization that moves along the neuron.

electrical electricalat synapse chemical
At the synapse the electrical signal is converted to a chemical signal: neurotransmitters
![Page 12: This week: Sensing and Responding to the Environment.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56649f575503460f94c7bde8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
CB 48.14
Neurons are commonly connected to many other neurons, and the effect of the different incoming signals determines what the neuron will do.

Nerves allow us to perceive the environment while the brain integrates the incoming signals to determine an appropriate response.

Smells are detected by receptor neurons in our nose. Each receptor is sensitive to a different chemical

Activating more neurons leads to stronger perception

Nerves allow us to perceive the environment while the brain integrates the incoming signals to determine an appropriate response.
Response
Responses can be release of hormones, change in cell activity, or muscle contraction
