Hello, 3Coli Here!
Here are your answers:
1. What is a stimulus?
Stimulus is a natural body reaction caused by changes in the environment around or inside the organism. This is a response from the brain.
2. Why does the body respond to stimuli?
The body responds to stimuli, because it needs to protect itself.
3. What are some different types of stimuli?
The two main types of stimuli are external stimuli and internal stimuli. External stimuli are reactions triggered by changes that occur outside of the body, while internal stimuli are reactions triggered by changes inside of the body.
4. What are sensory organs and what type of stimuli do these receptors respond to?
The most commonly used sensory organs include Eyes, Ears, Tongue, Nose, and Skin. Eyes respond to light and motion, because they are used to see. Ears respond to sound, because they hear. The tongue is used to taste, so it senses flavors. The nose is used to smell, so it responds to scents. Finally, the skin is used to feel, so it responds to whatever it feels.
5. What is an explanation of how the information from stimuli is communicated to the brain?
Neuron receptors convert internal and external environments into electrical signals, and then is sent to the brain through nerves.
6. What is a description of the two things that can happen when the brain processes the information from stimuli?
After the brain receives the signal, it will provide a response. One type of response is that the body will physically react to the change. The second type of response is to avoid the change.
Hopefully, this helps! :D
