An infant's responses to stimuli are coarse and undifferentiated because myelination of the nerve fibers is incomplete, according to "Infant Motor Development, Volume 10" by Jan P. Piek (http://books.Google.com/books?id=Snf4kqqmgNgC&pg=PA9&lpg=PA9&dq=development+of+nerve+fibers+in+an+infant&source=bl&ots=cxVA0T7QSj&sig=xJgMg_2fs-aHqOpsNj2_uXdGveI&hl=en&ei=sw7NSqm3KYzMNZ39qTo&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7#v=onepage&q=development%20of%20nerve%20fibers%20in%20an%20infant&f=false).

Tropic responses are called tropism. It is the growth or turning movement of plants in response to an environmental stimulus. Nastic movements are non-directional responses to stimuli, independent of the stimulus's position.
The responses of plants to external stimuli is called Tropism.Here are some tropisms:* Chemotropism, movement or growth in response to chemicals * Geotropism (or gravitropism), movement or growth in response to gravity * Heliotropism, movement or growth in response to sunlight * Hydrotropism, movement or growth in response to water * Phototropism, movement or growth in response to lights or colors of light * Thermotropism, movement or growth in response to temperature.
A positive response is when a response happens to a stimuli, and this response causes more of the stimuli to happen. A negative response is when a response happens because of a stimuli, and the response stops the continuation of the stimuli.

The somatic nervous system is voluntary because one can consciously control the responses.
reflexes
They are receptors.

This is known as a stimulus.
