What happens at the level of the neuron starting with stimulus and ending with a response?
The stimulus is detected by the sensory receptor. The sensory receptor stimulates a sensory neuron. The sensory neuron transmits to the interneuron in the spinal cord. The interneuron stimulates a motor neuron. The motor neuron communicates to the muscle. The muscle(effector) then produces the response allowing the body to respond to the stimulus.
What structure receives a stimulus from the external environment and relays it to the sensory neuron?
The receptor!
Which type of sensory receptor enables you to see?
photoreceptor
What type of sensory receptor enables you to see?
photoreceptor
What process occurs as specialized receptor cells in the retina respond to only some features movement colors or edges of each stimulus?
sensory reduction
What is a Specialized area of sensory neuron that detects a specific stimulus?
the answer to this question would be sensory receptor
What is a receptor nerve?
Nerve receptor is a specialized cell or nerve endings that respond to sensory stimuli.
What are sensory receptors?
A sensory receptor is a sensory nerve ending that responds to a stimulus in the internal or external environment of an organism. The sensory receptor initiates sensory transduction by creating graded potentials or action potentials in the same cell or in an adjacent one.
How is the brain informed that a receptor is adapting to a stimulus?
The amplitude of the generator potential or the frequency discharge of the sensory fiber decreases.
What does your body do reaction to a stimulus?
A Stimulus is picked up by a receptor, travels along a sensory neurone to either the spinal cord or brain, then it is processed to produce some response.
Define adaptation of sensory receptors?
When a stimulus is applied for a prolonged period, the rate of receptor response slows and our conscious awareness of the stimulus declines or is lost until some type of stimulus change occurs.
What type of stimulis do mechanoreceptors detect?
A mechanoreceptor is a sensory receptor of a nerve that responds to pressure, vibration, or another mechanical stimulus. -JoshuaP
