A mechanical stimulus refers to a physical force or change that affects an object or organism, often leading to a response. In biological contexts, it can involve mechanical pressure, stretch, or vibration that triggers sensory neurons, influencing processes such as touch, proprioception, or pain. This type of stimulus is crucial for many physiological functions, including muscle contraction and the maintenance of tissue health.

What is the stimulus for taste?
The stimulus for taste is chemical reaction.
What are issued stimulus checks called?
Economic stimulus payments.
What is an example of an internal stimulus and an external stimulus?
external is thunder
Many people chew to gum to increase saliva formation when their mouth is dry. what is this type of stimulus?
mechanical stimulus
What is an abdominocardiac reflex?
An abdominocardiac reflex is a fluctuation in the rhythm of the heart, associated with mechanical stimulus of the abdominal organs.
Which is not a major type of stimulus that triggers endocrine glands to manufacture and release hormones?
One type of stimulus that does not trigger endocrine glands to release hormones is mechanical stimulation. Examples of major types of stimulus include chemical signals, neural signals, and hormonal signals.
What stimulus is used in labs to study nerve physiology?
For my class, We used to use electrical shock (Voltage) as a stimulus. However, there are some other types as well, such as mechanical (glass rod), or thermal stimulation (heat a glass bar).
Which type of sensory receptor is used to detect a stimulus by the special sense of hearing?
Mechanoreceptors are the type of sensory receptor used to detect a stimulus in the special sense of hearing. These receptors respond to mechanical stimuli such as vibrations in the environment that are produced by sound waves.
What type of stimulis do mechanoreceptors detect?
Mechanoreceptors detect mechanical stimuli such as pressure, stretch, vibration, and touch. They are sensitive to physical changes in their environment and convert these mechanical stimuli into electrical signals that the nervous system can interpret.
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.
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.
