What allows people to become less sensitive to unchanging stimuli?
sensory adaptation!!
What is the exact region of the nasal cavity that is sensitive to smell stimuli?
When the lower region of a guy hurts really bad until it suddenly falls off.
What is the process where sensory receptors become less sensitive to the same stimuli?
You can think of what happens when you smell things that are usually the same day to day. You will notice that smell less and less. Olfactory fatigue is an example of neural adaptation or sensory adaptation. The body becomes desensitized to stimuli to prevent the overloading of the nervous system, thus allowing it to respond to new stimuli that are out of the ordinary or new.
Why do people react to stimuli and what are stimuli?
First of all, stimuli are sounds, feelings, and sights that activate your reflexes. Second of all, people react to stimuli because it, again, is your reflexes kicking in. A stimulus can be bird tweeting during school in your classroom, and you get distracted by it and look. Or you could touch a hot object (the stimulus) and jerk your hand back or drop it (the reflex[es]).
What is an effect of noise on the perception of stimuli?
Noise interferes with the perception of stimuli
What are Nociceptors sensitive to?
pain and itch
What type of stimuli is each receptor very sensitive to?
specific
What allows people to become less sensitive to unchanging stimuli?
sensory adaptation!!
How are sensitization and desensitization different?
Sensitization also called positive adaptation is the type of sensory adaptation in which we become more sensitive to stimuli that are low in magnitude. Desensitization also called negative adaptation is the type of sensory adaptation in which we become less sensitive to constant stimuli.
Why is it advantageous to have pain receptors that are sensitive to all stimuli whether heat cold or pressure?
to protect us
Why do skin easily respond to stimuli?
The skin is the most outer layer of the part of our body.In that case it is the most sensitive part of the body so its the first part of the body that can respond to stimuli
What Positive Adaptations?
Positive adaptation which is also called sensitization is a type of sensory adaptation in which we become more sensitive to stimuli that are low in magnitude. It is the process of becoming for sensitive.
Why can you see things?
We can see things because light from the object enters our eyes.The light then stimuli the sensitive cells on retina. Optic nerve then send the stimuli to brain. And our brain will interpret the stimuli and form a sensation of seeing things. Here is the function of different structure in our eye ball: 1. Cornea It acts as a protective layer of our eyes 2. Iris It controls the size of pupil 3. Ciliary muscles It controls the thickness of lens 4. Lens It focuses light on retina 5. Retina It's full with sensitive cells. Light will fall on it. 6. Optic nerve It sends the stimuli to brain
Living things are known as?
Living things are organisms that possess characteristics such as growth, reproduction, responding to stimuli, and the ability to consume and use energy.
What is the difference between a positive and negative response in biology?
A positive response is when a response happens to a stimuli, and this response causes more of the stimuli to happen. A negative response is when a response happens because of a stimuli, and the response stops the continuation of the stimuli.
What is the exact region of the nasal cavity that is sensitive to smell stimuli?
When the lower region of a guy hurts really bad until it suddenly falls off.
Why would fungi decline after disappearance of insects?
because its responding to stimuli
