Stimulus And Response Of The Nervous System

The simplest type of response is a direct one to one stimulus response reaction.

Stimulus and response of the nervous system. Detecting the stimulus receptors are specialised cells that detect a stimulus. Stimulus such as heat light cold pressure smell touch water and force of gravity. This is called response.

Different organisms respond differently to different types of stimuli sing. Here is an example. A change in the environment is the stimulus.

Stimulus and response are two aspects of the nervous system of the animal body. These impulses are then transmitted via neurons to the central nervous system where decision making occurs. The reaction of the organism to it is the response.

Perceiving and responding to the senses among the primary modes of input into the nervous system are the electrical impulses that arise from sense organs. Also both help to maintain homeostasis or a constant internal environment in animals. In the video the runner receives a stimulus of a starter pistol going off.

Some receptors can detect several different stimuli but they are usually specialised to detect one type of stimulus. Touch sound sight smell and taste are conveyed to the nervous system in order to integrate information and assess the nature of the external world. Also plants respond to stimulus through hormones.

Form and function of nervous systems stimulus response coordination. Both give sensitivity to an organism. The basic pathway for a nerve impulse is described by the stimulus response model.
