This animation was developed as an instructional tutorial to educate the public and those that work regularly with insecticides on how some of the most common insecticides cause their toxic effects. It is also appropriate for instruction in toxicology and entomology courses, especially those taught by distance education. The tutorial was intended as an independent self-teaching unit to allow an individual with some biological knowledge to follow a logical sequence of events that describes how nervous systems function (using an insect model), and to illustrate how neurotoxic insecticides disrupt the actions of nervous systems to produce toxic effects.
Students that study this tutorial will gain a basic knowledge of the structural and functional importance of nerve cells and animal nervous systems and of cell communication, in addition to learning about four different neurotoxic actions by insecticidal chemicals.
The tutorial has a running time of approximately 40min. It consists of 13 major scenes.
