Reflex Action is the term that describes the way an organism responds to stimuli. During reflex actions receptors are stimulated, they send signals to the central nervous system, where the brain co-ordinates the response. But sometimes a very quick response is needed, one that does not need the involvement of the brain. Reflex actions are rapid and happen without us thinking. For example, you would pull your hand away from a hot flame without thinking about it.

The term that describes the way an organism responds to stimuli is called behaviour.

Behaviour patterns may be simple or complex. Behaviour is explained through proximate causation and ultimate causation. In proximate causation, it is how behaviour works or ensues, internal state delivers physiologic basis, it is a study that determines physiologic changes like hormone levels. One example is a male songbird singing during mating season, this is because of the level of sex hormone-testosterone which binds to certain receptors in the brain which activates production of song. Ultimate causation on the other hand, explains why behaviour evolved through the years, it studies the behaviour in which it influences survival or reproduction. One example is a female bird during mating season who are mostly attracted by singing male birds and male songbirds have more offspring compared to those who don't influenced that shape behaviour.

ipn [44]
A) Discuss the anatomical changes that occurred in the bipedal hominin
The changes that occurred are the loss of the capability in hands to grasp on branches. This is because of the presence of an opposable thumb. Another change is the loss of walking on 4 legs. The hominids started to have an upright posture, have long legs and walk on their two feet.

b) How they reflect habitat adaptation
The species lived in wooded areas like forests. This is why they required the grasping abilities on their feet and hands to be able to move in the trees while holding branches. Shifting to unwooded areas like the grasslands made them lose some of their abilities. This is because they were no longer needed.

c) Discuss the hypothesis that propose why the change occurred.I
It was necessary for change to occur due to the fact that forests were becoming fragmented and patchy. Food also became dispersed and scarce. This made the species use more energy to get food and also have free hands for them to be able to pick up food. They also gained an upright posture.

e) What applications can they have
3D scanning and printing has been applied in architectural surveys to provide accurate measurements increasing on productivity and saving on time. It has also been used in health to create a detailed study of body parts and produce comfortable prosthetic limb for patients.
