Which sensory system detects vibrations?
Mechanoreceptors~that chicka <3
What type of sensory receptor detects changed in pressure or movement?
Mechanoreceptors
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.
What are sensory receptors?
A sensory receptor is a sensory nerve ending that responds to a stimulus in the internal or external environment of an organism. The sensory receptor initiates sensory transduction by creating graded potentials or action potentials in the same cell or in an adjacent one.
A reflex arc begins with the stimulation of a what?
A reflex arc begins with the stimulation of a sensory receptor such as those on the skin. The stimulus is then passed as an electrical impulse along sensory, relay and motor neurones (by-passing the brain) before reaching an effector orgen, like a muscle, which then responds to the stimulus.
What structure detects the stimulus in the reflex action?
The stimulus is detected by temperature or pain receptors in the skin. These generate impulses in sensory neurons. The impulses enter the CNS ( Central nervous system ) through a part of the spinal nerve called the Dorsal root.
What process occurs as specialized receptor cells in the retina respond to only some features movement colors or edges of each stimulus?
sensory reduction
How does information travel along the axon of a sensory neurone?
the receptor detects the stimulus and the sensor neurone sends it to the CNS (central nervous system
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
Which sensory system detects vibrations?
Mechanoreceptors~that chicka <3
Simple automaticinborn response to a sensory stimulus?
reflex
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 type of sensory receptor detects changed in pressure or movement?
Mechanoreceptors
What general category of sensory receptors detects variations in temperature?
themorecptrs
Detect changes of internal or external stimulus?
sensory receptors
What is a simple automatic inborn response to a sensory stimulus is?
reflex
