The Nervous System & Sensory Receptors for Human Systems
This unit is on the nervous system, the brain, and how sensory receptors receive information and convert it to an electrochemical signal that is sent through the nervous system to the brain. Once the signal gets to the brain, it is processed, and the brain may send a signal to tell the body how to respond or store the information as memory. Students learn how animals process information and send it to their brains differently. This unit begins and ends with the use of phenomena.Resource includes
