How does a neuron indicate the strength of a stimulus?
A neuron conveys information about the strength of stimuli by varying the rate in which the stimulus is fired.
What neuron picks up a stimulus?
A sensory Neuron picks up the stimulus from the environment and changes it into a nerve impulse.
Which neurons decide about the action for a certain stimulus?
Sensory neuron
What is the stimulus-response pathway involving a sensory neuron and a motor neuron?

What happens at the level of the neuron starting with stimulus and ending with a response?
When a stimulus is received by a neuron, it triggers an electrical signal called an action potential to travel down the neuron's axon. This signal reaches the end of the neuron, causing the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the neighboring neuron, initiating a new action potential and continuing the signal transmission.
What makes a neuron receive a stimulus?
An interaction with the world.
What is the pathway a stimulus followed to produce a response?
the neuron pathway
The strong stimulus can increase the?
Number of times the neuron fires
When a stimulus acts on a neuron it decreases the permeability of the stimulated point of its membrane to sodium ions?
False( When a stimulus acts on a neuron, it increases the permeability of the stimulated point of its membrane to sodium ions. )
When a neuron receives a stimulus that is very strong?
When a neuron receives a very strong stimulus, it may reach its threshold potential and fire an action potential. This can lead to the release of neurotransmitters, sending a signal to other neurons. The strength of the stimulus can affect the frequency of action potentials generated by the neuron.
What stimulus below this intensity will result in no response in a neuron?
Any stimulus below the neuron's threshold potential will not result in a response, as it is not strong enough to generate an action potential. Neurons require a minimum level of stimulus intensity to reach the threshold potential and fire an action potential.
What is the first response a neuron makes to a stimulus?
The first response a neuron makes to a stimulus is called depolarization. This is when the neuron's electrical charge changes, allowing it to transmit an electrical signal down its length to communicate with other neurons.
