- A stimulus can be internal or external. An example of an internal stimulus is feeling hunger or feeling the need to urinate. An example of an external stimulus is hearing a loud noise or touching a hot object.
- A response is what you to voluntarily or involuntarily in response. Your response to hunger is to eat. Your response to touching a hot object is to jerk you hand away reflexively.
What else can I help you with?
Muscle cells gland cells and specialized cells that respond to neural stimuli are called?
Muscle cells are called myocytes, gland cells are called secretory cells, and specialized cells that respond to neural stimuli are called neurons.
How does effector relate to reflex arc?
An effector is a part of the body (such as a muscle or gland) that carries out the response in a reflex arc. In a reflex arc, when a stimulus is detected by a sensory receptor, a message is sent via a sensory neuron to the spinal cord, where it is processed, and then a message is sent via a motor neuron to the effector causing a response.
What is the enlargement of adrenal gland called?
The enlargement of the adrenal gland is called adrenal gland hypertrophy.
What is the name of the salivary gland that is near the ear?
The name of that salivary gland is parotid gland. That is the biggest of all the salivary glands.
Which gland in the body is called the master gland?
The pituitary gland is often referred to as the "Master Gland."
What the reaction to a stimulus by a muscle gland?
A Response
In the reflex arc a muscle or gland is considered to be the?
In the reflex arc, a muscle or gland is considered to be the effector. Its role is to respond to the stimulus provided by the sensory neuron and produce the appropriate action, such as muscle contraction or gland secretion.
Muscle cells gland cells and specialized cells that respond to neural stimuli are called?
Muscle cells are called myocytes, gland cells are called secretory cells, and specialized cells that respond to neural stimuli are called neurons.
Does brain have nerve?
The nervous system is made up of three parts: the receptor, the decider, and the effector. The receptor receives an stimulus and creates an electric impulse to be sent to the brain. The brain receives this impulse and decides what to do in order to react to the stimulus. Your brain then makes a decision and sends out an electric impulse to the effector which moves the muscle or activates a gland in your body which is a reaction to the stimulus.
What does each part of the cell do?
The dendrites receive the stimulus, the soma, or cyton, which contains the nucleus interprets the signal, and the axon and its terminals send the signal to another nerve cell, a muscle, or a gland.
What are the categorys of endocrine gland stimulus?
hormonal, humeral, and neural.
What nervous reflex arc is usually a muscle or gland?
The nervous reflex arc that typically involves a muscle or gland is known as the motor reflex arc. In this arc, sensory neurons transmit signals from a stimulus to the spinal cord, where they connect with interneurons or directly with motor neurons. The motor neurons then send signals to muscles to contract or to glands to secrete substances, resulting in an immediate response to the stimulus. This process enables rapid reactions to environmental changes, such as pulling away from a hot surface.
What muscle is the parotid gland close to?
The parotid gland is close to the masseter muscle, which is one of the main muscles responsible for chewing.
What is a neuron that sends an impulse to a muscle or gland causing the muscle or gland to react?
A neuron that sends an impulse to a muscle or gland is called an efferent neuron, specifically a motor neuron. These neurons transmit signals from the central nervous system to effectors, such as muscles or glands, leading to a physical response or secretion. When stimulated, motor neurons release neurotransmitters that trigger muscle contraction or glandular activity, enabling movement or physiological changes.
What job does each organ in the nervous system do?
The dendrites receive the stimulus, the soma, or cyton, which contains the nucleus interprets the signal, and the axon and its terminals send the signal to another nerve cell, a muscle, or a gland.
What do neurons stimulate?
Neurons stimulate other neurons or target cells (such as muscle cells or gland cells) through the release of neurotransmitters at synapses. This stimulation can trigger a response in the target cell, leading to activities such as muscle contraction or hormone release.
What type of stimulis is it when endocrine organs are prodded into action by other hormones?
This type of stimulus is called hormonal stimulation. It occurs when one hormone signals another endocrine gland to release its own hormone to regulate physiological processes in the body.
