A device that responds to a physical stimulus is known as a sensor. Sensors detect changes in their environment, such as temperature, light, motion, or pressure, and convert these physical stimuli into signals that can be measured or interpreted. Common examples include thermometers, motion detectors, and pressure sensors, which are widely used in various applications, from home automation to industrial monitoring.
A physical or chemical change in an organism's environment that triggers a response is referred to as a stimulus. This stimulus can cause the organism to react in a way that helps it adapt to the changed conditions, such as by moving to a different location, changing its behavior, or adjusting its metabolic processes. For example, plants may respond to changes in light levels by altering their growth patterns.
The reaction to a stimulus is called a response. An intensified stimulus usually evokes a more intense response. Of course the type of response to a stimulus depends on the nature of the stimulus. Scream at someone and they likely will feel verbally attacked. The screaming is the stimulus, feeling attacked is the response.
The stimulus and response pathway involves the process by which an organism detects a stimulus and then responds to it. This begins with sensory receptors detecting a change in the environment (the stimulus), which sends signals through sensory neurons to the central nervous system. The brain processes this information and generates a response, which is transmitted through motor neurons to effectors, such as muscles or glands, resulting in a physical reaction. This pathway is essential for survival, enabling organisms to adapt to their surroundings.

Effector organ is a part of the body that responds to a stimulus and a stimulus is a change in the environment that is detected by a receptor. And is a receptor is a nerve cell that detects a stimulus.
An organism responds to a stimulus.

A sensor is a device that detects or measures a physical property and records, indicates, or otherwise responds to it.
AVPU is level of consciousness; a is alert, v is responds to verbal stimulus, p is responds to pain stimulus; and u is unresponsive.
Generalization. This occurs when an organism responds to stimuli that are similar to the original conditioned stimulus that was paired with the unconditioned stimulus.
Responding to similar stimuli is known as generalization in classical conditioning. This occurs when an organism responds to a stimulus that is similar, but not identical, to the original conditioned stimulus that was paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
The reaction to a stimulus is called a response. An intensified stimulus usually evokes a more intense response. Of course the type of response to a stimulus depends on the nature of the stimulus. Scream at someone and they likely will feel verbally attacked. The screaming is the stimulus, feeling attacked is the response.
A physical stimulus is transformed into a neural stimulus when the sensation is received by the sensory nerves. For example, the pain of right cross punch is felt when the nerves at the impact site fire.
The process of changing physical stimulus to neural stimulus is called transduction. This process involves converting sensory information from the environment into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain.
The stimulus and response pathway involves the process by which an organism detects a stimulus and then responds to it.

A signal to which an organism responds is called a stimulus. It can be any environmental change or cue that triggers a response or behavior in an organism. This response can range from simple reactions like moving away from a harmful substance to complex behaviors like mating rituals in animals.
