Sensory and Motor Mechanisms

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Advanced biology pupils name the function of each individual structure on figures of the eye and the ear. They describe the purpose of the skeleton and how it works with the muscles to create movement. Finally, they label a large diagram and write a paragraph detailing the muscle contraction process. These three pages provide an extensive overview of sensory and motor mechanisms.
