Stentor, a single-celled organism, reacts to stimuli through a process called mechanoreception. When stimulated by touch, it can contract rapidly and change its shape. Stentor's response to stimuli helps it navigate its environment and capture food.

What tissue has the ability to react to stimuli?

nervous tissue


What is the time it takes the brain to react to outside stimulus?

The time it takes for the brain to react to external stimuli can vary depending on the type of stimulus and individual factors. Generally, the brain can react to simple stimuli, like a visual or auditory cue, in milliseconds. However, more complex stimuli or tasks may require longer processing times.


Why do people react to stimuli and what are stimuli?

First of all, stimuli are sounds, feelings, and sights that activate your reflexes. Second of all, people react to stimuli because it, again, is your reflexes kicking in. A stimulus can be bird tweeting during school in your classroom, and you get distracted by it and look. Or you could touch a hot object (the stimulus) and jerk your hand back or drop it (the reflex[es]).


The two main ways in which neurons are able to react to stimuli are?

Neurons can react to stimuli through electrical signaling, where they generate action potentials to transmit information along their length. They can also respond to chemical signals by releasing neurotransmitters at synapses to communicate with other neurons or target cells.


Ability to react to stimuli a major role of the nervous system?

The nervous system is responsible for receiving and processing stimuli from the external environment or within the body. This information is then relayed to the brain for interpretation and to coordinate appropriate responses through motor neurons. This ability to react to stimuli is crucial for survival and maintaining homeostasis.
