Document Summary
Motor ouput escape behaviour in reaction to threats/hunted animals. Sensory output: through millions of sensory receptors that monitor the changes (or stimuli) inside and outside the body. Integration: processes and interprets the sensory input and decides what to do at each moment. Output: effects or causes a response by activating muscles/skeletal system or glands (effectors) via motor output. Support/framework: bones form the internal framework that supports the body and cradles its soft organs. Protection: (cid:271)o(cid:374)es a(cid:272)t as prote(cid:272)tio(cid:374) for the (cid:271)od(cid:455)(cid:859)s soft orga(cid:374)s e(cid:454). The fused (cid:271)o(cid:374)es of the skull pro(cid:448)ide an enclosure for the brain, vertebrae surround the spinal column and the ribcage helps protect the vital organs of the thorax. Storage: fat is stored in the internal (marrow) cavities of bones; boen itself is a store house for minerals (most importantly calcium and phosphorus) Protection of blood cells: occurs within the marrow of certain bones classification of bones.
