Discussion and questions about chapter 10

Glossary

Learn the systems. Label a nerve cell (fig. 10.5). how are touch receptors distributed? How does nervous system and endocrine system work together? Negative feedback systems || - conduction, convection, radiation, evaporation -ways of gaining and loosing heat -negative feedback system || -Ectothermic V endothermic -SA:V -predict animal size in different environments || Adaptations of plant/ leaf shape, stomata, root system, transpiration, movement ||
 * Chapter 10: Physiological adaptations for survival**
 * **Page no.** || **Title** || **Summary/ main concepts** ||
 * 298-299 || Water balance in the tarrkawarra || Med.- You should be able to read about any species and break down their adaptations in this way ||
 * 299-301 || External and internal environments || Med- Homeostasis is a major concept to understand in this unit ||
 * 301- 308 || Nerves and hormones: detecting and responding to change || Long: I expect that you supplement this with material covered in class.
 * 309 || Detecting temperature change || Long ||
 * 310-313 || Maintaining core temperature || Long-
 * 313-317 || Behavioural activities || Long:
 * 317-320 || Animals surviving on land || Med- adaptations for hot/ cold environments ||
 * 321-322 || Animals surviving in water || Med- adaptations of marine animals for cold (include zoo info here) ||
 * 322-325 || Plant responses to temperature change || Med-
 * 325- 330 || Water balance in living organisms || Long- include work from in class here- negative feedback of endocrine system, kidney function, comparison between types of organisms ||
 * 330-335 || Water balance in plants || Long- main concepts are transpiration and adaptations to reduce transpiration (leaf orientation, sunken stomata) ||
