Question
Chapter 34, Problem 1CBQ
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The types of sensory stimuli that animals detect and the adaptations of the receptors for each stimulus.
Introduction:
A stimulus is a measurable change in the internal or external environment of an organism. The ability of an organism or organ to respond to external stimuli is called sensitivity.

Motor output results after the nervous system integrates & processes the sensory input. It synthesizes sensory input to compute an appropriate motor response like leg extension etc.arrow_forwardWhat are receptors? Discuss how these receptors respond to stimuli.arrow_forward
