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 organisms actions as a result of sensory neural and hormonal factors in response to changes in the external or internal conditions?
Stimulus
What neuron picks up a stimulus?
A sensory Neuron picks up the stimulus from the environment and changes it into a nerve impulse.
What picks up a stimulus from the environment and changes it into a nerve?
A sensory Neuron picks up the stimulus from the environment and changes it into a nerve impulse.
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.
Define adaptation of sensory receptors?
When a stimulus is applied for a prolonged period, the rate of receptor response slows and our conscious awareness of the stimulus declines or is lost until some type of stimulus change occurs.
What are the very first of the three steps basic to all sensory systems?
1. Recieve stimulus 2. Transform stimulus 3. Deliver stimulus
Which neurons decide about the action for a certain stimulus?
Sensory neuron
Simple automaticinborn response to a sensory stimulus?
reflex
What is a Specialized area of sensory neuron that detects a specific stimulus?
the answer to this question would be sensory receptor

Detect changes of internal or external stimulus?
sensory receptors
What is a simple automatic inborn response to a sensory stimulus is?

Stimulus
2 Which nerves carried the stimulus to the spinal cord?
Sensory Nerves.
What occurs when a constant unchanging stimulus is no longer noticed?
sensory adaptation
