Sensory Neurons Quiz

What are the modified ends of sensory neurons that are activated by specific stimuli called?

• Electrochemical signals

• Brain decoders

• Sensory receptors

• Stimuli converters

What happens once a sensory receptor is activated by stimuli?

• It sends a mechanical signal to the brain.

• It converts the stimuli to an electrochemical signal that goes to the brain.

• It immediately identifies the type of sense.

• It creates a new sensory neuron.

Where does the decoding of sensory information take place?

• In the sensory receptors

• In the spinal cord

• In the brain

• At the site of the stimulus

• Nerves

• Salivary glands

What is the function of the conjunctiva?

• It is a muscle that moves the eye.

• It is a gland that produces tears.

• It is the mucous membrane that covers the front of the eye and lines the inside of the eyelids.

• It is a nerve that sends visual information to the brain.

Which area of the brain is responsible for processing visual information?

• Auditory Cortex

• Motor Cortex

• Visual Cortex

• Olfactory Cortex

What is the function of the somatic motor association area?
