An action potential is triggered if?
If a neuron, or other excitable tissue, is stimulated by a stimulus of threshold strength or greater strength..
What neuron picks up a stimulus?
A sensory Neuron picks up the stimulus from the environment and changes it into a nerve impulse.
What stimulus below this intensity will result in no response in a neuron?
Threshold stimulus
Which neurons decide about the action for a certain stimulus?
Sensory neuron
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 is the stimulus-response pathway involving a sensory neuron and a motor neuron?

Given that action potentials traveling down the axon of a particular neuron are always the same amplitude how is a stronger stimulus communicated to the next cell in the neural pathway?
The strength of a stimulus is coded in the frequency of action potentials, not in the amplitude.
What makes a neuron receive a stimulus?
An interaction with the world.
What is the pathway a stimulus followed to produce a response?
the neuron pathway
The strong stimulus can increase the?
Number of times the neuron fires
When a stimulus acts on a neuron it decreases the permeability of the stimulated point of its membrane to sodium ions?
False( When a stimulus acts on a neuron, it increases the permeability of the stimulated point of its membrane to sodium ions. )
The action potential is generated when a stimulus?
When a stimulus stimulates a neuron above the threshold, the action potential is generated.
