What is the smallest intensity of an odor that can be detected by a human?
The nose can detect an odor from the presence of only a few molecules of substance.
What eye cell does not detect color?
The rods in the retina of the eyes are sensitive to low levels of light and movement. The cones are the ones that are sensitive to color and intensity, so the rods do not see color.
Is there more than one neuron to detect a stimulus?
Yes, and typically one set of neurons for each set of stimuli.
What type of stimulis do mechanoreceptors detect?
A mechanoreceptor is a sensory receptor of a nerve that responds to pressure, vibration, or another mechanical stimulus. -JoshuaP
What structure detects sound?
Biologically the receptor is what detects the stimulus. The nervous system works in a diagram like this: Stimulus --> Receptor --> Coordinator --> Effector --> Response e.g Hot Pan --> Thermo --> brain --> bicep muscle contracts --> hand moves away On Hand receptor from pan. In skin.
What is the smallest increase or increase in the intensity of a stimulus a person can detect?
just noticeable difference
The level of sensory stimulus strength at which an individual can detect the stimulus at least 50 percent of the time is called?
an absolute threshold
What is the Point at which a person can detect a stimulus 50 percent of time it is presented?
absolute threshold
What is the smallest intensity of an odor that can be detected by a human?
The nose can detect an odor from the presence of only a few molecules of substance.
What is the minimum amount of stimulation a person needs to detect a stimulus 50 percent of the time?
That is called "Absolute threshold"
The minimum amount of stimulation a person needs to detect a stimulus 50 percent of the time is called?
absolute threshold
The minimum amount of stimulation a person needs to detect a stimulus 50 percent of the time is called the?
absolute threshold
What is the function of the cold receptor?
to detect stimulus
Which type of stimulus do mechanoreceptors detect?
Sound
What is stimulus with examples?
A stimulus is a DETECTECTABLE change in the environment. e.g. light is a stimulus to an animal or plant if it can detect the light with a sensing eye or chemical
How are stimulus and response related?
our senses will detect stimulus and send impulse into the integrating centre(brain) to interpret. the brain will produce appropriate response toward the stimulus to the effector. e.g when Telephone ring, the ears will detect the stimulus(sound) and the brain will produce the response to pick up the phone (copy from Yahoo answers)
What kind of stimulus can Krause's end bulbs detect?
They detect sensations of touch and low frequency vibration
