How do receptor neurons help people perceive smells?
Receptor neurons in the nostrils first detect an odor by coming into contact with and reacting to gas molecules of the substance. Then the receptor neurons send information about the odor along the olfactory nerve to the brain.
Neurons that detect stimuli in the environment are known as?
Sensory (afferent) neurons
What is another name for receptor cells?
Neurons
What happen when receptor is stimulated?
When a receptor is stimulated it triggers impulses in other neurons....hope this was helpful and correct
Where are receptor neurons for smell located?
high in each nostril
What is neurons associated with sensory receptor?
third order neuron
What is an adrenergic receptor?
An adrenergic receptor is any of several sites in the surface membranes of cells innervated by adrenergic neurons.
The space between two neurons or between a neuron and a receptor is known as a?
The space between two neurons or between a neuron and a receptor is known as a synapse. In this gap, neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, allowing for communication between the two cells.
What specialized neurons detect sensory energy from the outside world?
Receptor
What are the nerve cells that react to gases?
Olfactory receptor neurons are nerve cells that react to gases, specifically in the context of the sense of smell. These neurons are located in the olfactory epithelium in the nasal cavity and are responsible for detecting various odors in the environment.
Neurons with the ability to monitor the environment are called what?
Sensory neurons are the type of neurons that have the ability to monitor the environment. They are specialized to detect stimuli from the external or internal environment and transmit this information to the brain for processing.
What is another name for afferent neuron?
sensory neuron or receptor neuron.
