💡 Big idea: The reflex unit closes the Human Body Systems course by connecting molecular neuroscience (synaptic transmission, myelination) to measurable human performance (reaction time) and real-world pathophysiology (drug effects).

- • This is the last evidence day of the course. Four artifacts: reflex-arc diagram, data table, graph, and drug-effects CER.
- • Before you package anything: does your reflex-arc diagram have all five components with signal arrows? Does your data table have units in every row? Does your CER name a specific drug class and a specific synaptic mechanism?
- • Your reflection should be substantive. Name at least two things that slow a reflex and explain why, using the anatomy.
- • Well done completing Human Body Systems. You built a skeleton, grew muscles on it, measured their fatigue, designed a rehab plan, dissected a brain, and measured your own reflexes. That is real science.
- 1Gather your reflex-arc diagram, reaction-time data, and signaling CER.
- 2Check each against the evidence rubric for units and labels.
- 3Update the weekly tracker with completed tasks.
- 4Write a two-sentence reflection on what slows or speeds a reflex.
- 5Submit the reflex evidence packet for the weekly summative.
- • You can assemble a complete reflex evidence packet.
- • You can reflect on factors that change reaction time.
- • Evidence packet for this unit requires: reflex-arc diagram, reaction-time data table, graph, and drug-effects CER. All must be dated and labeled.
- • Reflection should identify at least two factors that slow a reflex (unmyelinated axons, synapse processing time, cognitive distraction, depressant drugs) and one that speeds it (myelination, stimulant drugs).
- • Reflex physiology, drug mechanisms, and reaction-time measurement integrate Human Anatomy, Evaluate Body Systems, and Microbiology/Pharmacology emphasis areas of the WebXam 072040.

Unit 2.1 Reflexes: Drug impacts on neuron signaling, reflex and reaction time, patient diagnosis challenge. · Submit reflex evidence
Day 5 of this lesson. Open this exact section in myPLTW (reached through Schoology), then do the work below.
Do this: Confirm all Lesson 2.1 Getting Nervous tasks for this week are marked complete in myPLTW before packaging your reflex-and-signaling evidence.
All tasks show complete status; screenshot included in your evidence packet.
By today every task from Mon to Thu this week in Lesson 2.1 should be checked off.

Confirm all Lesson 2.1 Getting Nervous tasks for this week are marked complete in myPLTW before packaging your reflex-and-signaling evidence.
By today every task from Mon to Thu this week in Lesson 2.1 should be checked off.
This is how Mr. Mendoza sees the class keeping pace with PLTW. Be honest, it only helps if it is accurate.
