Brain stimulus receptors are considered "selective transducers" by physiologists. The reason that they are referred to as this is that the receptors convert certain information by turning it to energy.

What is the system's reaction to the stimulus?
Stimulus detected by receptors, transmitted to brain via afferent neurones, info processed at brain, efferent neurones, then to affector such as muscles.
What is the receptors in your body?
It detects the stimulus
What kind of cell detects a stimulus?
Temperature - Skin Receptors.
What are brains stimulus receptors called?
sensoria
How do spikes and receptors interact?
It reacts in these following steps: 1) A spike (the stimulus) is touched by receptors in the skin. 2) Receptors in the skin detect the stimulus and send electrical impulses down neurones to the sensory neurone. 3) The sensory neurone will pass these electrical signals to the CNS (Central Nervous System). 4) The CNS will pass these electrical signals to the motor neurone which once connected to the brain (through nervous cells reaching the carotid area of the body), the brain will detect and understand the feeling of the spike and will send this information the receptors.
What is a decreased sensitivity that occurs when a stimulus is continuously applied to sensory receptors called?
It all depends on the sensory receptors affected by continuous stimulus applied. It can cause complete damage to the receptors and or prevent them from receiving the correct signals.
How does your finger tell whether or not an object is cold?
your finger can tell when an object is hot or clod because when a stimulus (the object) touches your skin, receptors transmit it to the brain and your brain sends a reflex reaction to let go
Detect changes of internal or external stimulus?
sensory receptors
How does a mouse respond to he stimulus of a dropping pen?
The receptors in the ear detect a vibration, so impulses are sent to the brain. Then the brain makes the response and impulses are sent along the neurones back to the receptor to create the mouse to jump.
What drugs impact the brain's cannabinoid receptors?
Marijuana impacts the brain's cannabinoid receptors.
What are the sensory receptors in the skin and their roles?
Sensory receptors gather information that is further processed by your brain. They tell your brain when it is getting cold, warm, wet, dry etc. Sensory receptors also tell your body when you are in danger. If you cut yourself, burn yourself, any damage to the body, and they will respond accordingly to prevent further damage.
What do peripheral nervous system sensory receptors do?
Sensory receptors provide the connection between the stimulus such as heat, cold, and pain and the CNS.
