What the difference between reaction and response?
A reaction is what happens to the body when a stimulus is applied, a response is what happens next; i.e a stimulus illicits a reaction which illicits a respose. For example, glucose in the blood (a stimulus) causes the pancreas to release insulin (a reaction), which in turn causes the cells to take up glucose from the blood (a response).
Signal to which an organism responds?
stimulus
How do you spell stimulus?
'Stimulus' is the correct spelling.
What is the different between an external stimulus and an internal stimulus?
The difference between an external stimulus and an internal stimulus is that an external stimulus is a stimulus that comes from outside an organism. But an internal stumulus is a stimulus that comes from inside an organism. An example for an external stimulus can be that when you are cold, you put on a jacket. An example for an internal stimulus is that when you feel hungry, you eat food.
What are the four characteristics of a stimulus in stimulus coding?
The characteristics are modality (type of stimulus), intensity (strength of stimulus), duration (length of stimulus), and location (where the stimulus occurred).
What do you call the tendency to respond to a stimulus that is similar but not identical to a conditioned stimulus?
Generalization is the tendency to respond to a stimulus that is similar but not identical to a conditioned stimulus.
How does a neutral stimulus become a conditioned stimulus?
A neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus through a process called classical conditioning. This happens when the neutral stimulus is paired consistently with an unconditioned stimulus that naturally elicits a response. Over time, the neutral stimulus begins to evoke the same response as the unconditioned stimulus, becoming a conditioned stimulus.
Is insulin on negative feedback?
Yes Insulin is a hormone produced by the beta cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans that stimulates glycolysis and increase glucose uptake in muscle and adipose tissue; therefore, it maintain homeostasis in the body by decreasing blood sugar level when it is high. It shows a negative feedback because the response negates the stimulus to maintain homeostasis.
WHAT hormone helps glucose move into the cell?
Insulin.
What is neutral stimulus?
A neutral stimulus is a stimulus that initially does not elicit a specific response. In classical conditioning, the neutral stimulus becomes associated with a meaningful stimulus through repeated pairing, eventually causing the neutral stimulus to elicit the same response as the meaningful stimulus.
In positive feedback the initial stimulus produces a response that the stimulus?
exagerrates the stimulus
Is stimulus a reaction to an internal event?
A stimulus is not a reaction, a stimulus is what causes a reaction.
