Stimulus-Response Model Quiz

Which of the following is an example of a reflex?

• Deciding to pick up a pencil

• Blinking when an object approaches the eye

• Learning a new language

• Solving a math problem

What is the role of the interneuron?

• To transmit signals directly from the sensory neuron to the effector

• To process the stimulus in the brain

• To carry signals from the sensory neuron to the brain

• To receive the initial stimulus

What is the final component that acts in the Stimulus Response Model to produce a response?

• Sensory neuron

• Brain

• Motor neuron

• Effector

What is the role of a receptor in the nervous system?

• Carries message to CNS

• Interprets messages

• Detects the stimulus

• Carries out action

Which part of the nervous system is responsible for carrying messages away from the CNS?

• Sensory neuron

• Motor neuron

• Effector

• Modulator

What is an example of a stimulus in the context of the nervous system?

• Muscle contraction

• Hot surface

• Sensory neuron

• Spinal cord

What does a modulator do in the nervous system?

• Carries message to CNS

• Detects stimuli

• Carries message away from CNS

• Interprets message

Which example best fits the role of an effector in the nervous system?

• Thermoreceptor in skin

• Muscles in arm

• Sensory neuron

• Spinal cord

What is the primary function of the motor neuron?

• To detect stimuli

• To send signals from the brain to the muscles

• To receive signals from the receptors

• To act as a sensory neuron

When you touch something hot, which part of the nervous system is primarily responsible for sending the message to react?

• The brain

• The sensory neurons

• The motor neurons

• The spinal cord
