sensory_pathway
Stretch: also in knee-jerk. If a tree falls and no animal hears it: no sound is perceived.
mechano
Naked dendrite: not encapsulated by connective tissue. Hair movement: FEEL hair!
electromagneticB
Magnetite found in birds, salmon, sea turtles, not whales.
ear
Eustachian tube equalizes pressure w pharynx; hammer anvil stirrup.
basilar
Primary sensory areas in temporal
lobe.
pitch
Wave energy dissipated at round window.
equilibrium
Balance: can control equilibrium - no acceleration.
Utricle and saccule detect gravity w otoliths (Ca carbonate).
tongue
Umami=tasty.
eye
Conjunctiva=mucous membrane over sclera.
lens
Ligaments connect bones at joints.
retina
Horizontal and
amacrine
cells integrate information across the retina.
Neurotransmitter
glutamate to bipolar cells.

- Red kangaroos (larger, fewer than grey) inhabit dry climates: elastic tendons travel long distances, moisture from grass
- Ecosystem ecology: energy flow, chemical cycling.
- Abiotic wind: increase heat loss: evaporation and convection
- Drummer silty clay loam:
crayfish channels under marshland conditions.
- lacustrine: lakel alluvium: clay/silt/gravel carried by rushing streams and deposited where the stream slows (flood plain, delta)
- O horizon: Organic, humus, leaf litter; Eluviation: downward movement of dissolved or suspended material within soil from rainfall
- Desert plants: C4 photosynthesis
(oxaloacetate 4 carbons instead of 3–phosphoglycerate): no grana or photorespiration (no sugar or ATP)
as CO2 levels drop and stomata close in C3 plants.
