What is controlled by the magnitude of a receptor potential?

The magnitude of a receptor potential determines the strength of the stimulus detected by the sensory receptor. A larger receptor potential indicates a stronger stimulus, while a smaller receptor potential indicates a weaker stimulus. This information is then transmitted to the central nervous system for further processing and perception.


What is the difference between a stimulus impulse receptor and effector?

A Receptor is referring to a sense organ, like a nerve ending. An Effector is referring to a muscle capable of reflecting to a stimulus. By definition, receptor and effector are antonyms.


The outer part of G protein receptor binds and its inner part binds?

The outer part of a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) binds to ligands, such as hormones or neurotransmitters, which activates the receptor. The inner part of the receptor interacts with and activates a G protein, initiating downstream signaling cascades within the cell.


When the receptor have registered a the energy is converted to a electrochemical impulse?

Yes, when a receptor detects a stimulus, it triggers an electrochemical impulse to be sent along a nerve cell. This impulse travels to the brain where it is interpreted as a specific sensation or perception.


The effect of a drug that is an agonist is to do what?

An agonist drug binds to and activates a receptor in the body, producing a response similar to that of the endogenous ligand. This leads to an increase in the activity of the receptor, resulting in a physiological response.

A stimulus is detected and changed to an impulse by what?

What is the function of the cold receptor?

to detect stimulus


What is the first event associated with a reflex?

The first event associated with a reflex is the stimulus, which activates sensory receptors in the body. These receptors then send a signal to the spinal cord, bypassing the brain to produce a quick response from motor neurons, resulting in the reflex action.


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 structure receives a stimulus from the external environment and relays it to the sensory neuron?

The receptor!

The process of transduction usually begins?

Transduction usually begins when a sensory receptor detects a stimulus, such as light or pressure. The receptor then translates this stimulus into an electrical signal that can be interpreted by the nervous system.


What is the receptor effector and stimulus?

Stimulus is like the cause of something or the theme. The receptor is what you use fir the stimulus e.g you look at a tv guide ( stimulus) and the receptor is your eyes because you use them to see it. The effector is the muscle used To use the tv guide so this could be your hand


What causes the activation of a second messenger?

A transmitter activates a receptor on the cells surface. That receptor, once activated then activates the second messanger inside the cell. That way large molecules can provoke an effect within a cell without actually entering it.
