After the generation and propagation of an action potential along a neuron, the cell becomes depolarized to the point where there is no potential for further signaling until the cell re-polarizes through the action of ion pumps. This very brief period is called the refractory state.

When a neuron receives a stimulus that is very strong?
all or none fashion
During the absolute refractory period along an axon membrane of a neuron?
the neuron is unable to respond to a stimulus of any intensity
What is a Specialized area of sensory neuron that detects a specific stimulus?
the answer to this question would be sensory receptor
What are the 5 steps to a reflex arc?
Arrival of stimulus, Activation of a sensory neuron, Information processing by an interneuron, Activation of a motor neuron, The response by an effector. Straight out of my anatomy text book.
Light sensitive worker needed to receive visual images and transmit impules to the brain?
the image passes from neuron to neuron through neurotransmitters until it reaches the brain, where the neurotransmitters are read
How is a stimulus transmitted across a synapse?
Neurons are responsible for transmitting a stimulus across a synapse. The electric potential of the neuron is sensitive to changes in the resting state and sets off electric transmissions.
How does a neuron indicate the strength of a stimulus?
A neuron conveys information about the strength of stimuli by varying the rate in which the stimulus is fired.
What neuron picks up a stimulus?
A sensory Neuron picks up the stimulus from the environment and changes it into a nerve impulse.
What stimulus below this intensity will result in no response in a neuron?
Threshold stimulus
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 stimulus-response pathway involving a sensory neuron and a motor neuron?

What makes a neuron receive a stimulus?
An interaction with the world.
What is the pathway a stimulus followed to produce a response?
the neuron pathway
The strong stimulus can increase the?
Number of times the neuron fires
When a stimulus acts on a neuron it decreases the permeability of the stimulated point of its membrane to sodium ions?
False( When a stimulus acts on a neuron, it increases the permeability of the stimulated point of its membrane to sodium ions. )
The action potential is generated when a stimulus?
When a stimulus stimulates a neuron above the threshold, the action potential is generated.
