What does the medical term threshold mean?

The place or point of beginning; the outset.The lowest point at which a stimulus begins to produce a sensation.The minimal stimulus that produces excitation of any structure, eliciting a motor response.


How does a stimulus and a reaction work?

A stimulus is a change in the environment that triggers a response in an organism. When an organism receives a stimulus, it processes the information and produces a reaction, which is a specific behavioral or physiological change to cope with the stimulus. This process allows organisms to adapt and survive in their environment.


When the initial stimulus produces a response that reinforces the stimulus the mechanism is called?

positive feedback


What types of fualts do each stress produce?

Tensional stress typically produces normal faults, compressional stress typically produces reverse faults, and shear stress typically produces strike-slip faults.


The process in which a stimulus produces a repones that opposes the original stimulus is referred to as?

The process in which a stimulus produces a response that opposes the original stimulus is referred to as negative feedback. This mechanism helps maintain homeostasis in biological systems by counteracting changes and stabilizing internal conditions. For example, if body temperature rises, mechanisms are activated to cool it down, thereby opposing the initial increase.


When an initial stimulus produces a response that exaggerates stimulus called what mechanism?

Exaggerating the stimulus is also seen as amplifying the stimulus. This is seen in outer ear hair cells.The mechanism you refer to is probably a positive feedback mechanism: more of the stimulus causes more of the stimulus. This is in contrast to a negative feedback mechanism, whereby more stimulus results in processes that strive to attenuate (lessen) that stimulus.


When a previously neutral stimulus acquires the ability to elicit a response as a result of being paired with another stimulus that naturally or automatically produces the response?

This is known as classical conditioning, a type of learning where a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a response. The neutral stimulus eventually becomes a conditioned stimulus that triggers the same response.


What is an example of a neutral stimulus?

A neutral stimulus is a stimulus that initially produces no specific response other than focusing attention. Examples of a neutral stimulus is a song, an animal, or a flower. If a person that you love gives you a specific flower, creating a pleasant memory, every time you see or smell this specific flower, it brings pleasant memories of that person.


What is any change in the environment that causes a response in the organism is called?
