Stimulus (physiology) In physiology, a stimulus (plural stimuli) is a detectable change in the internal or external environment. The ability of an organism or organ to respond to external stimuli is called sensitivity. When a stimulus is applied to a sensory receptor, it normally elicits or influences a reflex via stimulus transduction.

- Sensory receptors can be classified by the type of stimulus that generates a response in the receptor. Broadly, sensory receptors respond to one of four primary stimuli: 1  chemicals (chemoreceptors) 2  temperature (thermoreceptors) 3  pressure (mechanoreceptors)  light (photoreceptors)

- Introduction: Reaction time is a measure of how quickly an organism can respond to a particular stimulus. Reaction time has been widely studied, as its practical implications may be of great consequence, e.g. a slower than normal reaction time while driving can have grave results.eactions which only travel to, through, and from the spinal cord are often called spinal reflexes or cord-mediated reflexes; withdrawing one’s hand from a hot stove is an example of such a reflex. In ‘simple reaction time’ experiments, there is only one stimulus and one response.

Stimulus (physiology) If the stimulus does not warrant a strong enough response, it is said to not reach absolute threshold, and the body does not react. However, if the stimulus is strong enough to create an action potential in neurons away from the photoreceptor, the body will integrate the information and react appropriately.

- This is the amount of time it takes for the individual to recognize that a stimulus or signal has occurred. The stimulus can be present in a number of sensory forms: visual, auditory, smell, touch or a combination of factors. For most people, normal situation stimuli are visual and auditory.

Sensory receptors In a sensory system, a sensory receptor is a sensory nerve ending that responds to a stimulus in the internal or external environment of an organism.In response to stimuli, the sensory receptor initiates sensory transduction by creating graded potentials or action potentials in the same cell or in an adjacent one.ther receptors such as mechanoreceptors and photoreceptors respond to physical stimuli. For example, photoreceptor cells contain specialized proteins such as rhodopsin to transduce the physical energy in light into electrical signals.

Anatomy And Physiology Exam #3 If a neuron receives a series of stimuli whose effect is excitatory but subthreshold, the neuron is more excitable to incoming stimulation than before and is said to be dendrites The cytoplasmic extensions that, together with the cell body (soma), provide the main receptive surfaces for neurons are called _____.

Sensory receptors Sensory receptors respond to specific stimulus modalities. The stimulus modality to which a sensory receptor responds is determined by the sensory receptor's adequate stimulus. The sensory receptor responds to its stimulus modality by initiating sensory transduction.

stimulus Plural stimuli (stĭm'yə-lī') Physiology Something that can elicit or evoke a physiological response in a cell, a tissue, or an organism. A stimulus can be internal or external. Sense organs, such as the ear, and sensory receptors, such as those in the skin, are sensitive to external stimuli such as sound and touch. Something that has an impact or an effect on an organism so that its behavior is modified in a detectable way.

- 17 Spontaneous Recovery After a rest period, an extinguished CR (salivation) spontaneously recovers if you pair CS and US again. But if the CS (tone) persists alone, the CR becomes extinct again. 18 Stimulus Generalization Tendency to respond to stimuli similar to the CS is called generalization. Pavlov conditioned the dog’s salivation (CR) by using miniature vibrators (CS) on the thigh. When he subsequently stimulated other parts of the dog’s body, salivation dropped.

Cooper Chap 17 Q:When a group of stimuli all evoke the same response (for example, when one sees a picture of a Border collie, a Doberman pinscher, and a Labrador retriever, one says that's a dog), the group of stimuli is referred to as: 1  A:A stimulus class.

stimulus stim·u·lus. Plural stimuli (stĭm′yə-lī′). Something that causes a response in a body part or organism. A stimulus may be internal or external. Sense organs, such as the ear, and sensory receptors, such as those in the skin, are sensitive to external stimuli such as sound and touch.

Classical conditioning Classical conditioning (also known as Pavlovian or respondent conditioning) is a learning process in which an innate response to a potent stimulus comes to be elicited in response to a previously neutral stimulus; this is achieved by repeated pairings of the neutral stimulus with the potent stimulus.lassical conditioning differs from operant or instrumental conditioning: in classical conditioning, behavioral responses are elicited by antecedent stimuli, whereas in operant conditioning behaviors are strengthened or weakened by their consequences (i.e., reward or punishment).

Perception The sound stimulating a person's auditory receptors is the proximal stimulus, and the brain's interpretation of this as the ringing of a telephone is the percept. The different kinds of sensation such as warmth, sound, and taste are called  sensory modalities .

- The dendrites serve as the stimulus receptors for the neuron, but they respond to a number of different types of stimuli. The neurons in the optic nerve respond to electrical stimuli sent by the cells of the retina. Other types of receptors respond to chemical neurotransmitters. The cell body contains the necessary structures for keeping the neuron functional.

- Neural sensitization is the process by which the response of a neuron to a given stimulus is increased. This increase lasts a long time-weeks or months at least. A simple explanation of sensitization is available at the UTHSC web page of Dr. Cynthia Miller http://www.sahs .uth.tmc.edu/brainsurf/aplysia1.html.

response A response is a reaction to a question, experience, or some other type of stimulus. If you cry at sad movies, you're having an emotional response to the drama that's taking place on the screen. A response can come in many forms, including an answer to a question, an emotional reaction, or a reply.
