Something you detect using your receptors is called a

• stimulus

• pain

• sense

• touch

Select any stimuli you see below

• light

• temperature

• heat

• mechanoreceptor

• sweat gland

Our sense of touch is apart of the

• somatosensory system

• somatical system

• mechanoreceptory system

• spinal system

(select all the right options)

The somatosensory system senses what simuli?

• pressure

• temperature

• pain

• light

• Carbon dioxide level

The stimulus response model shows

• how a stimulus is detected by a receptor, and a response is carried out by an effector

• how a receptor is detected by a stimulus, and an effect is carried out by a response

• how a stimulus is detected by an effector, and a response is carried out by an receptor

• how light enters the eye and is sent to the brain

How is a reflex arc different than other voluntary movements?

• A reflex arc takes the same path as a voluntary action

• A reflex a travels from a sensory neuron to the spinal cord then to a motor neuron, skipping the brain

• A reflex arc takes longer than a voluntary action

• There is no difference between a reflex arc and a voluntary action

A reflex arc involves what kind of neurons

• sensory neurons only

• sensory and motor neurons

• motor neurons only

• sensory, motor and interneurons

There are three types of neurons in the nervous system. Select them

• Interneuron

• Motor neuron

• Sensory neuron

• stimuli neuron

In the Patellar reflex arc (knee jerk), the leg muscle is the

• stimulus

• effector

• response

• sensory neuron

Receptors in the retina of the eye are called

• chemoreceptors

• mechanoreceptors

• photoreceptors

• light sensitive cells
