Information entering the central nervous system from the external environment is called external stimuli. External stimuli are factors which are detected by the body and communicated to the central nervous system such as temperature and scents.
The nervous system. Which is made up of the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system (including the brain).

Sense organs are part of the peripheral nervous system. They detect stimuli from the environment and send signals to the central nervous system for processing and response.
The effectors of the nervous system are muscles and glands. They respond to nervous stimuli.
The nervous system is triggered to respond to stimuli.
The nervous system processes and interprets sensory information received from the sensory system. The sensory system detects stimuli from the environment and sends signals to the nervous system for processing. Together, they work to coordinate responses to stimuli and help maintain homeostasis in the body.
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) makes contact with the environment. It includes sensory receptors that detect stimuli like touch, temperature, and pain, transmitting this information to the central nervous system for processing.
The rest of the nervous system follows the instructions of the main part that makes the decisions. The main part is the brain, spinal cord, and other interneurons. The rest of the nervous system is called the peripheral nervous system and it mainly receives stimuli with sensory neurons, and sends signals for movement with motor neurons.
The parts of the nervous system that respond to stimuli are called the sensory nervous system. This includes touch, pressure, hot and cold, sound, light, and taste.
The nervous system is primarily responsible for generating behavior in multicellular animals. It receives input from the environment, processes information, and coordinates responses to produce various behaviors. It integrates sensory information and controls movement, allowing animals to interact with their surroundings and respond to stimuli.
