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 a simple neural receptor?
A receptor (protein) on a neuron that receives stimulus (light, pressure, chemical...etc). The stimulus generates a receptor potential (local disturbance/slight depolarization in membrane potential).
What is the difference between a stimulus impulse receptor and effector?
A Receptor is referring to a sense organ, like a nerve ending. An Effector is referring to a muscle capable of reflecting to a stimulus. By definition, receptor and effector are antonyms.
What is a naturally occurring reaction to a particular stimulus?
The reaction to a stimulus is called a response. An intensified stimulus usually evokes a more intense response. Of course the type of response to a stimulus depends on the nature of the stimulus. Scream at someone and they likely will feel verbally attacked. The screaming is the stimulus, feeling attacked is the response.
When the receptor have registered a the energy is converted to a electrochemical impulse?
stimulus
The process of changing physical stimulus to neural stimulus is called what?
Transduction is the process of changing physical stimulus to natural stimulus. This causes receptor cells to produce an electrical change in response.
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 does your body do reaction to a stimulus?
A Stimulus is picked up by a receptor, travels along a sensory neurone to either the spinal cord or brain, then it is processed to produce some response.
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.
An environmental stimulus acting on the body initially produces an electrical response called aan in the receptor neuron?
generator potential
A stimulus is detected and changed to an impulse by what?
receptor
What is the function of the cold receptor?
to detect stimulus
What is a simple neural receptor?
A receptor (protein) on a neuron that receives stimulus (light, pressure, chemical...etc). The stimulus generates a receptor potential (local disturbance/slight depolarization in membrane potential).
What is the difference stimulus and response?
Stimulus is a reason, and response is the respose to that
What structure receives a stimulus from the external environment and relays it to the sensory neuron?
The receptor!
What is the difference between a stimulus impulse receptor and effector?
A Receptor is referring to a sense organ, like a nerve ending. An Effector is referring to a muscle capable of reflecting to a stimulus. By definition, receptor and effector are antonyms.
An organism reacts to a stimulus with an?
An organism reacts to a stimulus with a response.
