What is a receptor nerve?
Nerve receptor is a specialized cell or nerve endings that respond to sensory stimuli.
When the body receives stimuli which structure typically processes the stimuli?
The brain processes sensory stimuli.
Neurons that detect stimuli in the environment are known as?
Sensory (afferent) neurons
What receives stimuli and forms impulses?
Receptors or more precisely, sensory receptors.
What is the process in which our sensory receptors convert sensory stimuli from our environment into a form that can be sent to and used by the brain?
stem from generation of receptor potentials
What type of nerve receives stimuli from the environment and send the message to the brain?
sensory? im not sure
Receptor touch impluse and stimuli which order do they go in?
touch-stimuli-receptor-impulse
What part of the brain receives sensory stimuli and passes along the information to the other parts of the brain?
The thalamus
What is the importance of adaptation in some sensory stimulation?
A long term stimulation of constant intensity, the receptor will after a while adapt and not make any notice of the stimuli.
What is the function of the parietal lobe?
The parietal lobe receives sensory input for touch and body position. It integrates sensory information from different modalities, especially determining spatial sense and navigation. It is associated with movement, orientation, recognition, perception of stimuli.
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 is a reflex made of?
'Made of' is difficult to say, but the reflex arc includes within it Sensory Nerve Fibres, Receptor Cells and Sensory Neurones. The effect of these is to bypass the normal interface with the central nervous system, so that the body responds instantly to potentially dangerous stimuli.
