A response caused by the spinal cord interpreting an impulse from sensory receptors?
Reflex
Which type of neurone transmits the impulse from a motor to a sensory neurone?
No, not directly. Some sensory neurons can detect the effect of a motor neuron firing.
How does information from the sensory receptorsin the skin get to the brain?
The initial sensory receptor detects a change e.g temperature. This is sent as an electrical impulse via a series of sensory receptors to the spine, if there is a problem a reflex occurs. If there is no problem the impulse is transmitted to the brain through the spinal cord.
How do the sensory receptors in your fingers differentiate between different objects?
You have several sensory receptors and they all measure differences in pressure, displacement, and movement. The main ones are the Merkle, Meissner, Pacinian, Raffini, Krause, Hair follicle receptors, and the pain receptors.
What is the sensory receptor in the eyes What is the sensory receptor in the nose What is the sensory receptors in the tongue What is the sensory receptors in the skin?
the sensory receptors for the eyes are the cornea and the optic nerve
What is a response caused by the spinal cord interpreting an impulse from sensory receptors?
The only response by the spinal cord is not an interpretation but a reflex. A sensory impulse comes in and at the cord a reflexive arc occurs taking information to muscles or glands. The brain does the interpretation. You touch a hot stove and that info goes to the spinal cord which causes a reflexive action where the muscles move the hand away. All that happens before the brain gets an "incident report".
Cells called what detect changes in the environment known as stimuli?
they are called receptors.
What are the sensory receptors of the eyes ears nose skin and tongue?
The receptors of the eye are photo receptors, the ear has auditory receptors, the nose has olfactory (smell) receptors, the skin has tactile (touch)and thermo- (temperature) receptors and the tongue has gustatory (taste) receptors.
How are sensory receptors classified?
somatic receptors and special receptors
How does a stimulus trigger a sensory response?
A stimulus activates sensory receptors in the body, such as on the skin or in the eyes, ears, nose, or mouth. These receptors then send signals through nerves to the brain, where the information is processed and interpreted, resulting in a sensory response.
What are nerves carrying impulses from the sense organs called?
Sensory nerves, or the receptor nerves, as they are only made up of sensory neurons. Receptors are the specialised structures at the end of the sensory nerves that receive the stimuli and convert it into an electrical signal to be conducted by the nerve as a nerve impulse.
What do sensory receptors enable you to do?
Sensory receptors enable you to respond to stimuli in the environment of an organism. Some sensory receptors respond to taste and smell while others respond to physical stimuli.
