Directed re- actions in a field of force (tropisms) are studied first; then higher reactions includ- ing refiexes and chains of reflexes lead up to a review of nervous system activi- ty. Such reactions as geotropism. photo- tropism, stereotropism, galvanotroplsm, and rheotropism are studied in detail. Time- lapse photography is employed to illus- trate geotropism (response to gravity)." Producer jh-sh-c Guide 580 Botany Lupins.
