Best Answer

It reacts in these following steps:

1) A spike (the stimulus) is touched by receptors in the skin.

2) Receptors in the skin detect the stimulus and send electrical impulses down neurones to the sensory neurone.

3) The sensory neurone will pass these electrical signals to the CNS (Central Nervous System).

4) The CNS will pass these electrical signals to the motor neurone which once connected to the brain (through nervous cells reaching the carotid area of the body), the brain will detect and understand the feeling of the spike and will send this information the receptors.

What neurotransmitters bind to?

There are two receptors that neurotransmitters interact with: ligand-gated receptors or ionotropic receptors and G protein-coupled receptors or metabotropic receptors depending on the neurotransmitter (the ligand). When the ligand binds with the neurotransmitter receptor it causes a sequence of chemical reactions to relay signals.Brought to you by altogenlabs.com

What are capsid spikes and what are they for?

The spikes you are referring to I am assuming concern viruses. They are located on the envelope surrounding the capsid, typically made up of the host cell material. The spikes themselves are of protein and match with receptors on the host cell. This is kind of like a key to a door. The virus sheds the envelope when entering the host cell, then sheds the capsid, releasing the nucleic acid (DNA/RNA) causing a viral infection to occur.
