What is a dendrite?

It is the part of a neuron that carries information to the cell body.

It is the part of the neuron that carries information away from the cell body.

It is a cell that sends signals to the body to move.

It is a cell that sends signals to the central nervous system based on sensory input.

Answers

What is the term for changes in the internal or external environment that cause a response?

messages

signals

stimuli

nerves
How do signals from sensory neurons reach motor neurons?

Through interneurons in the brain and spinal cord that connect sensory neurons and motor neurons

Signals from sensory neurons do not get sent to motor neurons

Motor neurons signal for the body to move the signal toward them

Signals move from dendrite to dendrite towards motor neurons

peripheral nervous system

sensory neurons

central nervous system

interneurons

The observation that could be made based on stimuli to your photoreceptors is "This apple is red." Photoreceptors are responsible for detecting light and colors, so they would provide information about the color of the apple.
Answered by GPT 3.5
Sensory receptors communicate a stimulus to the brain through electrical signals. When a sensory receptor detects a stimulus, it generates an electrical signal called an action potential, which travels along neurons towards the brain, allowing the brain to interpret and process the sensory information.

Mechanoreceptors detect when your shoes are too tight. Mechanoreceptors are sensory receptors responsible for detecting mechanical stimuli such as pressure, touch, and vibration. They can sense physical changes and deformation in tissues, allowing them to detect when something is pressing or applying force on the skin, such as tight shoes.
