To describe: The fixed action pattern.
Introduction: Animals are special in their behavior, which plays central role in their physical environment when they interact with each other. Animal behaviors are controlled by the nervous system and help them to respond accordingly.
Explanation of Solution
Animal behavior is controlled by their nervous system. A biologist has recently concluded that animal behavior depends upon the environmental response such as leg motion and smile that arises from their brain tissue, neurons, muscle cells, and the movement of ions that activate muscle contraction and give rise to nerve impulses. Fixed action pattern is the study of animal behavior, which expressed without prior learning and restricted to modify by learning. This behavioral point is controlled by the nervous system because it shows the presence of healthy nervous system. For example-bill-perking behavior of gull nest. This perking behavior shows the fixed action pattern that expresses innately without prior learning
