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.
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 occurs during the reflex arc.?
The pathway that an impulse travels from your foot back to your leg is an example of a reflex arc. A reflex arc includes a sensory receptor (in this case, a receptor in your toe), sensory neuron, motor neuron, and effector (leg muscle). Some reflex arcs include interneurons. In other reflex arcs, a sensory neuron communicates directly with a motor neuron.
Pretend you are a neuron transmission in a human body trace your life from the sensory receptor to the central nervous system and back to the motor neuron?
I am doing a project and we need to pretend that we are a neuron transmission in a human body. Trace you life from the sensory receptor to the central nervous system and back to the motor neuron. Explain how you are sending information about stimulus to the brain and returning to the effector neuron in order for the person to have a reaction to the stimulus. I just need to know the pathway if the stimulus is sent from the eye to the legs. Like if a person is running and sees something that he/she needs to jump over. Thank you in advance for the help, as I am not quite sure of the pathway, and your help is greatly appreciated. EX. eye to sensory neuron, etc.
Which neurons decide about the action for a certain stimulus?
Sensory neuron

What is the pathway of an impulse in a reflex arc?
Sensory receptor, sensory neuron, interneuron, motor neuron, and muscle.
The sensory receptor sensory neuron motor neuron and effector involved in a reflex form a?
A reflex arc.
What is another name for afferent neuron?
sensory neuron or receptor neuron.
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.
What structure receives a stimulus from the external environment and relays it to the sensory neuron?
The receptor!
What is neurons associated with sensory receptor?
third order neuron
What is a Specialized area of sensory neuron that detects a specific stimulus?
the answer to this question would be sensory receptor
What type of neuron begins a reflex arc?
A sensory receptor is the type of neuron that begins a reflex arc.
What is the correct arrangement of a reflex arc?
Receptor → Sensory Neuron → Associative Neuron→ Motor division →Effectors
What are the five parts of a reflex arc?
Summarized below are the 5 major components of the reflex arc: 1. Receptor 2. Afferent (sensory) neurons 3. Association neuron 4. Efferent (motor) neurons 5. Effector
