 * Assessment statements** (IBO notes added to some point to clearly indicate what needs to be understood and what does not)
 * E.1.1 || Define the terms stimulus, response and reflex in the context of animal behaviour. A stimulus is a change in the environment (internal or external) that is detected by a receptor and elicits a response. A reflex is a rapid, unconscious response. ||
 * E.1.2 || Explain the role of receptors, sensory neurons, relay neurons, motor neurons, synapses and effectors in the response of animals to stimuli. ||
 * E.1.3 || Draw and label a diagram of a reflex arc for a pain withdrawal reflex, including the spinal cord and its spinal nerves, the receptor cell, sensory neuron, relay neuron, motor neuron and effector. Include white and grey matter, and ventral and dorsal roots. ||
 * E.1.4 || Explain how animal responses can be affected by natural selection, using two examples. Use of local examples is encouraged. ||
