Lab PreviewDirections: Answer these questions before you begin the Lab.1. What safety symbols are associated with this lab?
2. What are the receptors called that allow you to sense touch located in the skin?
Your body responds to touch, pressure, temperature, and other stimuli. Notall parts of your body are equally sensitive to stimuli. Some areas are moresensitive than others are. For example, your lips are sensitive to heat. Thisprotects you from burning your mouth and tongue. Now think about touch.How sensitive is the skin on various parts of your body to touch? Whichareas can distinguish the smallest amount of distance between stimuli?
Real-World QuestionWhat areas of the body are most sensitive to touch?
Form a HypothesisBased on your experiences, state a hypothesisabout which of the following five areas of thebody—fingertip, forearm, back of the neck,palm, and back of the hand—you believe tobe most sensitive. Rank the areas from 5 (themost sensitive) to 1 (the least sensitive).
Goals■ Observe the sensitivity to touch on specific
areas of the body.■ Design an experiment that tests the effects of a
variable, such as how close the contact pointsare, to determine which body areas can distin-guish which stimuli are closest to one another.
Possible Materials3-inch ✕ 5-inch *glue
index card metric rulertoothpicks *Alternate materials
tape
Safety Precautions WARNING: Do not apply heavy pressure whentouching the toothpicks to the skin of your class-mates.
Test Your HypothesisMake a Plan1. As a group, agree upon and write the
hypothesis statement.2. As a group, list the steps you need to test your
hypothesis. Describe exactly what you will doat each step. Consider the following as youlist the steps. How will you know that sight isnot a factor? How will you use the cardshown below to determine sensitivity totouch? How will you determine that one orboth points are sensed?
3. Design a data table in your Science Journalto record your observations.
4. Reread your entire experiment to makesure that all steps are in the correct order.
5. Identify constants, variables, and controls of the experiment.

Which brain side is dominant?
The human brain is divided into a left and a right side. Many things you do with the right sideof your body are controlled by your brain’s left side. Many things you do with the left side of yourbody are controlled by your brain’s right side. If much of what you do is done by your body’sright side, your dominant brain side is the left side. If much of what you do is done by your body’sleft side, your dominant brain side is the right side.
StrategyYou will check to see how many activities you do using your left hand or your right hand.You will check to see how many activities you do using your left foot or your right foot.You will find out if you draw or see objects more to the right side or the left side.You will find out if the left side or the right side of your brain is dominant.

Your eye is one of the most complex organs of your body. Much could be learned about eye functions if you could look inside a human eye and study its parts. This is not very practical,but you can study a cow eye. Cow eyes are very much like human eyes. Cow eyes have anotheradvantage—they are bigger than human eyes.
StrategyYou will dissect a preserved cow eye.You will identify the most important parts of the eye.You will describe the functions of these eye parts.
Materials cow eye (preserved)dissecting panscalpel
Procedure1. Cut away all of the muscle and fat that
surround the rear ball part of the eyeball.Use a scalpel to start cutting the muscle andfat from the front toward the back of theeye. Remove only small portions of tissue ata time. WARNING: Use care when cutting toavoid injury. Do not remove the optic nerveas you trim the eyeball of fat and muscle.(The optic nerve can be seen as a white,round, pencil-thick bundle of nerves surrounded by a dark-colored layer ofmuscle tissue at the back of the eye.) Use thedash line shown in Figure 1 as a guide tohow much muscle and fat must be removed.
2. You are now ready to cut into the eye. Cutin a circular pattern into the eye at theposition marked in Figure 1 with X marks.You must cut through a tough outer layercalled the sclera.
3. Cut the eye in half, separating the frontfrom the back. A jellylike material willprobably fall out as the eye is cut in half.This is the vitreous humor, a transparentjelly that fills the inside of the eye. The lensis a marble-shaped structure that may alsofall out of the eye.
4. Place the front portion of the eye with theoutside facing down. Use Figure 2B to helpyou identify the ciliary muscles, iris, pupil,and cornea. Hold the front portion of theeye up to the light and observe the cornea.The cornea will not be completely trans-parent, but it is transparent in a living eye.
5. Place the back portion of the eye with theinside facing up. Examine the back portion ofthe eye Figure 2A. You should have the cutsurface facing up. You should notice a thin,wrinkled, whitish tissue on the inside alongthe back. This is the retina. The retina in aliving eye is smooth. NOTE: The retina canbe removed for closer examination. Observethat it attaches to the back of the eye. This isthe blind spot leading to the optic nerve.

6. At the back of the eyeball is a bluish layer called the tapetum. This layer actsas a reflective surface and is found only in certain animals. Push the tapetumaside at its cut edge to find the choroid layer directly below.
7. Examine the solid, round, yellowish structure (Figure 2C) that fell out whenyou opened the eyeball. This is the lens. It is covered with a layer of finemuscle fibers that control the shape of the lens. Hold it up to the light. Thelens does not appear completely transparent now, but it is transparent in aliving eye. WARNING: Wash your hands thoroughly after handling the eye.
8. Correctly label Figure 3 in Data and Observations, which shows the sideview diagram of the eye.
9. Record the parts of the eye you identified and their functions in Table 1. Youmay use reference books and your textbook to complete the table.

I Can’t Hear What I’m Seeing
Many people have a hard time reading simplewords on a page. People with this problem areusually very intelligent but have a nervous system problem called dyslexia [dis-lex-ee-ah].Dyslexia is a word that is used to describe manydifferent types of reading problems. One of themain problems for people with dyslexia is thatthey cannot see the letters and words on thepage correctly. They appear backwards or out of order.
Doctors and scientists once thought theproblem started in the brain itself. They incorrectly thought the problem was due tobrain damage. Some thought that certainbrain cells did not work as well as they should.Now, new research is helping us understandwhat really causes some types of dyslexia.
StimuliWhen stimuli enter the brain they are
decoded into signals that we recognize, like thesound of a dog barking or the sight of a ball.New information about people with dyslexiashows that, for them, certain kinds of stimulido not get translated properly by the brain.
Genetic TraitAlmost 98% of the people with this disorder
are male. This leads researchers to believe thatthis form of dyslexia is a genetic trait.
Many of the boys and men with dyslexia suffered numerous ear infections as children.
The Inner Ear and DyslexiaUsing these observations, researchers and
doctors are looking at a possible connectionbetween the inner ear and dyslexia. It isthought that the inner ear may have beendamaged or does not properly interpret stimuli. You may already know that the innerear is important for balance and coordination.A problem with the inner ear may preventsome people from unscrambling the signalsthat come into a particular part of the brain.
One of the leading scientists in this area ofresearch is Nobel Laureate Sir Robert Barany.He has designed a test to measure inner ear dysfunction. His data, along with the fact thatpeople with dyslexia are usually very intelligentand do not have brain damage, gives hope tomillions of people with the disorder. Thisresearch has led to this particular kind ofdyslexia being called Cerebellar Vestibulas dysfunction. (Cerebellar refers to the cerebellumof the brain, and vestibular refers to thevestibule of the inner ear.) New ways ofteaching people to read and to adjust to theirreading problems may be near.

Making Sense
The human brain and the senses are amazing features of human life. Theykeep track of our environment and help us to survive and enjoy life. However,not all people have the full use of all their senses. Many people have limitedvision, hearing, or another sense. But these people often manage to do very wellin a world they cannot fully experience.
It is common to find that when one sense is damaged, the brain will enhanceother senses. Quite often, people who lack sight have above-average hearingand sense of touch. People who cannot hear are very sensitive to vibrationstheir muscles and bodies feel.
The brain is able to produce new neurons and nerve tracts to make up forthe loss of some nerve impulses. This is especially true when a person has lost asense due to an accident. Because the brains of young people and children arestill growing, they are more likely to develop new nerve tracts and are quickerto adapt their senses than adults.
In this activity you will deprive yourself of the sense of sight and observehow your other senses work to make up for the loss. To begin, read the sentencebelow, then close your eyes and write the sentence directly below it. Open youreyes and check your mistakes. Repeat this three more times to check forimprovement and to observe what senses you used to make your writing better.Write this sentence “My brother is going bicycle riding in Yugoslavia.”
