Responding to the Environment Flashcards
whats a voluntary response?
involves the brain in making the decision to a response
whats an involuntary response?
does not involve the brain in the response
whats the first step of responding to the environment?
receptors detect stimuli (skin)
whats the second step of responding to the environment?
impulse sent along sensory neutron to spinal cord
whats the third step of responding to the environment?
CNS integrates the information (if necessary uses brain to initiate response)
whats the fourth step of responding to the environment?
impulse sent from CNS along motor neuron to effector
whats the fifth step of responding to the environment?
effector generates response
whats an effector?
glands or muscles (anything that can produce a response)
whats the 5 steps to responding to the environment?
- receptors detect stimuli (skin)
- impulse sent along sensory neutron to spinal cord
3.CNA integrates the information (if necessary to the brain) - impulse sent from CNS along motor neurone to effector
- effector generate response
