The nerve cells that detect heat (located within your Dermis) activate when touching a hot surface. This nerve impulse then travels through your central nervous system to your brain when it is translated as "pain" or "damage" to the area. The signal travels back down the arm as a reaction to move the stimulous and causes you to move your hand.
What else can I help you with?
What noun uses five senses?
A concrete noun is a word for something that can be experienced by any of the five physical senses; something that can be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or touched.
What stimulus does each part sense?
The eyes sense light and images, the nose senses odors, the ears sense sound waves, the skin senses touch, temperature, and pain, and the tongue senses taste.
What are the other senses except the 5 senses?
Some examples of other senses include proprioception (sense of body position), vestibular sense (sense of balance and spatial orientation), and thermoception (sense of temperature).
What is anything you can observe about an object by using your senses?
You can observe an object's color, shape, texture, size, weight, smell, taste, and temperature using your senses.
What are the three skin senses?
The three skin senses are touch, temperature, and pain. Touch receptors detect pressure, vibration, and texture, while temperature receptors detect hot and cold sensations. Pain receptors, called nociceptors, respond to tissue damage or injury.
When you touch something hot a neuron in you finger senses the temperature which happens first?
an action forms
When you touch something hot, a neuron in your finger senses the temperature. Which best describes the first reaction the neuron has?
An action potential forms :) -Apex-
When you touch something hot, a neuron in your finger senses the temperature. Which happens first?
an action potential moves along the neuron
When you touch something hot a nueron in your finger senses the temperature. which happens first?
The neuron in your finger senses the temperature first. It sends a signal to your brain, which then interprets the information and signals your muscles to move your hand away from the heat source.
When you touch something hot neuron in your finger senseds the temperature. Which happens first?
an action potential moves along the neuron
When you touch something hot a neuron in your senses the temperature. which happens first?
an action potential moves along the neuron
When you touch something hot a neauron in your finger senses the temperature which happens first?
The first thing that happens when you touch something hot is the activation of specialized nerve endings called thermoreceptors in your skin. These thermoreceptors detect the change in temperature and send a signal to the brain through the neuron to alert you of the heat and trigger a reflex action like pulling your hand away.
What is something that you can observe about an object by using your senses?
You can observe the color, texture, shape, and temperature of an object using your senses.
When you touch something hot a neuron in your fingers senses the temperature which best decscribes the first reaction the neuron has?
Ions flow into the neuron. An action potential forms moves along the neuron. A response occurs, here, an aversion response... your body pulls your hand and finger away.
What is the name of the neuron that gathers information from the senses and sends it to the central nervous system?
Sensory neurons
How electrical activity of neurons might be measured?
The information each neuron processes determines how strong the action potential (electrical current) is within each neuron. An example of studying the electrical activity is by using temperature. The neurons which detect the temperature change are called sensory neurons. If you stimulate the neurons by leaving your fingertip in cold water for an adequate amount of time the electrical current within each neuron is increased as the temperature of your fingertip drops. The neurons within the fingertip sense the temperature drop and emit the electrical current, then the next neuron senses the temperature drop as the fingertip is held in the cold water and emits a stronger electrical current, the colder temperature in the next neuron as your finger is held in the water emits an even higher frequency and so on until the message arrives at the spinal cord and is then sent to the brain through the now very strong electrical current within the neurons informing it of the temperature decrease and then resulting in action outcome.
Can you rely on your senses to measure temperature?
no you can't
