What do blue whales react to?
They react in same way most animals do. They respond to any stimulus. The stimulus can be touch, smell, sight etc... Blue Whales are likely to not to respond to same things as humans such as touch but still react to stimulus. An example being swimming deeper when a boat is near by.
What is any change in the environment that causes a response in the organism is called?
stimulus
What name is given to any factor that causes sensory receptors to begin to function?
A 'stimulus'.
How do organisms react to a stimulus?
Practically anything can be a stimulus, so organisms can respond to them in just about any way. The definition of 'stimulus' and 'response' are a little paradoxical in this context in that a stimulus is anything that provokes a response and a response is anything done to react to a stimulus. Perhaps some examples will make it clearer: if a predator grasps a lizard's tail (stimulus) it will detach the tail and escape (response). If the weather is excessively hot (stimulus), a plant will close the stomata in its leaves to conserve water (response). If a laboratory mouse notices a new object in its cage (stimulus), it will go investigate it (response).
What is any environmental condition that causes an organism to adjust to a new condition?
stimulus. (plural, stimuli)
Why is it only possible to induce an extrasystole during relaxation?
The cardiac muscle is incapable of reacting to any stimulus before approximately in the middle of phase 3. It will not react to a normal cardiac stimulus before phase 4.
Why is it only possible to induce an extrasystole during relaxation period?
The cardiac muscle is incapable of reacting to any stimulus before approximately in the middle of phase 3. It will not react to a normal cardiac stimulus before phase 4.
Are spiders afraid of us than you are of them?
Spider behavior appears to be TROPIC... that is, they react in a programmed fashion to any given stimulus, without thinking or reasoning.While they have evolved to avoid stimulus that is indicative of danger... it is a matter of conjecture whether a tropic reaction to stimulus could qualify as an emotion such as fear.
What response is caused by a neutral stimulus?
A response caused by a neutral stimulus is known as a conditioned response. This occurs when the neutral stimulus becomes associated with a unconditioned stimulus through conditioning, leading to a learned response.
Is gold nontoxic?
Gold is nontoxic. It doesn't react to any organs in the body. :)
What is innate stimulus?
An innate stimulus is a type of stimulus that triggers a natural, automatic response in an organism without the need for prior learning or experience. These responses are typically genetically programmed and can vary among different species.
Strong stimuli cause the amplitude of action potentials generated to increase?
Yes. ....Up to a point. There is a threshold the stimulus must surpass before creating a CAP (compound action potential). Anything below this threshold is called subthreshold. Once the stimulus is strong enough cause a CAP it is a stimulus threshold. At this point the CAP will continue to increase as the intensity of the stimulus increases (now termed suprathreshold) until a maximal stimulus causes a maximum response. Any stimulus stronger than the maximal stimulus is called a supramaximal and does not result in any larger a CAP than the maximum response caused by the maximal stimulus. source: http://www.unmc.edu/physiology/Mann/mann12.html
