E. Neurobiology
Stimulus
Behaviour terms
Stimulus: A change in the environment (external or internal) that is detected by a receptor
Response: A change in an organism resulting from a stimulus
Reflex: A type of response that is rapid and involuntary
Stimulus response
Receptors transform stimuli into electicalnerve impulses
Sensory neurons relay the nerve impulse to the CNS (via the dorsal root)
Relay neurons transmit nerve impulses within the CNS
Motor neurons transmit nerve impulses from the CNS and relays the signal to an effector
Effectors (muscles or glands) produce a response to the stimulus
Synapses are junctions between nerve cells across which neurotransmitters pass.
The stimulus response model
Stimulus-->receptor-->sensory neuron-->CNS--> relay neuron-->CNS-->effector-->response
