In biological terms, an internal and external stimuli are distinguishable by the source. For instance, hunger triggers the need to eat. This is an internal stimuli, as the body is stating it needs food. An external stimuli would be feeling the pinch of the needle when donating blood, or feeling the effects of the sun in the form of sunburn.

Explain how both external and internal stimuli are involved in your action?

The external stimuli involved are as follows: the eyes see the warm coloring of peach, the nose smells the scent of the ripe peach, and your salivary glands start releasing saliva to help dissolve the peach itself. The internal stimuli is mainly your brain, which processes all of this information that the other senses are sending, and sends, for lack of a better word, "spark" to your arm and hand so you can bring the peach toward your mouth and eat it.


What are the external senses and internal sense?

The External Senses are seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and touching. The Internal Senses are common sense, memory (storage of information and retrieval of information), imagination and evaluation.

What is an internal stimuli of an animal?

This is a very broad question, so a broad answer would be: Internal stimuli will most commonly be automatic reflexes triggered by external stimuli. Example, a drop in temp. will start shivering, cold is felt on the skin a nerve pathway is initiated to the brain triggering follicle stimulation and muscle spasming. Eating more acidic foods (external) will result in the organism producing more bicarbonate to neutralise the acid (internal).

How is bpth external and internal stimuli involved in my action if I were to reach for a peach inside of a bowl?

When you reach for a peach inside a bowl, internal stimuli such as hunger or the desire for a sweet taste motivate you to act. External stimuli, like the sight of the peach and its vibrant color, draw your attention and influence your decision to reach for it. Together, these stimuli create a response that prompts you to extend your arm and grasp the fruit. This interplay between internal desires and external cues guides your actions in a meaningful way.
