Cells called what detect changes in the environment known as stimuli?
they are called receptors.
Sensory neurons are also known as?
Afferent Neurons
The junction between neurons is known as the?
synapsis
What is a connector nerve cell?
Connector neurons are specialized bipolar or multipolar neurons of the central nervous system. Connector neurons are also known as interneurons and connect sensory neurons.
Functional difference between a motor and a relay neuron?
Motor neurons are the efferent neuron which carry impulses from CNS to muscles while relay neurons also known as Inter neurons connect both afferent and efferent neurons.

Anything from an environment that elicits responses?
This is known as a stimulus.
Sensory neurons are also known as?
Afferent Neurons
What is. The function of associative neurons?
The neurons form the bodies nervous system.
How does a biologist define life?
Life is a form of matter capable of metabolism, growth, reproduction, response to stimuli, and adaptation to the environment. Earth is the only planet known to support life.
The junction between neurons is known as the?
synapsis
The condition of excessive sensitivity to stimuli is known as?
hyperesthesia
What is a nerve cell?
Neuron also known as neurones and nerve cells are responsive cells in the nervous system that process and transmit information by chemical signals within the neuron.They are the core components of the brain, the vertebrate spinal cord, the invertebrate ventral nerve cord, and the peripheral nerves.A number of different types of neurons exist: sensory neurons respond to touch, sound, light and numerous other stimuli affecting cells of the sensory organs that then send signals to the spinal cord and brain.Motor neurons receive signals from the brain and spinal cord and cause muscle contractions and affect glands, Inter-neurons connect neurons to other neurons within the brain and spinal cord.Neurons respond to stimulus and communicate the presence of that stimuli to the central nervous system, which processes that information and sends responses to other parts of the body for action. done by a member of wiki answers -abi
