What structure receives a stimulus from the external environment and relays it to the sensory neuron?
The receptor!
What is a simple neural receptor?
A receptor (protein) on a neuron that receives stimulus (light, pressure, chemical...etc). The stimulus generates a receptor potential (local disturbance/slight depolarization in membrane potential).
Neurotransmitters released by 1 nerve cell are received by?
Neurotransmitters released by 1 nerve cell are received by another neuron. The receptor of a postsynaptic neuron receives the neurotransmitters.
What is another name for afferent neuron?
sensory neuron or receptor neuron.
What part of the olfactory cell binds odor molecules?
Olfactory hairs(cilia) on the head of the neuron.
The space between two neurons or between a neuron and a receptor is known as a?
A Synapse is the space between two neurons or between a neuron and a receptor organ. A single neuron can have a few, or several hundred synapses.
What is the pathway of an impulse in a reflex arc?
Sensory receptor, sensory neuron, interneuron, motor neuron, and muscle.
What Part of a neuron acts as a receptor?
axon
Can a first order sensory neuron sometimes be a sensory receptor?
The first order sensory neuron can sometimes be a sensory receptor because it is what sends the signal to the brain from the receptor. The second order goes from the brainstem to the thalamus.
What type of nerve conducts impulses to the olfactory bulbs?
Sensory neuron
Structure at the end of a neuron that detects information?
receptor
What is the receptor of a reflex arc?
Sensory receptor located at the distal end of a neuron or an associated sensory structure. When stimulated it creates a receptor potential, when that reaches its threshold, it will trigger 1 or more nerve impulses in the sensory neuron.
