    The document defines key terms in neuroscience: a stimulus triggers a response, receptors detect stimuli, and effectors enact responses. It then diagrams the pathways of a simple reflex, from stimulus through receptor and sensory neurons to interneurons and motor neurons activating an effector. Finally, it identifies the three main types of neurons - motor, interneuron, and sensory - and briefly describes their functions in muscle movement, connecting sensory and motor neurons, and transmitting sensory information.

    1.

    Define each of the following terms:

    Stimulus - A stimulus is any physical or chemical change in the environment that can
    trigger a behavioural or physical change in a living organism.

    Receptor - A receptor is a cell or a group of cells that can detect stimuli.

    Effector - An effector is a cell or group of cells that become active in response to


    stimuli.

    2.

    1 - Stimulus
    2 - Receptor
    3 - Sensory Neurons
    4 - Interneuron
    5 - Motor Neuron
    6 - Effector (Muscle)
    3.

    1 - Stimulus
    2 - Receptor
    3 - Sensory Neuron
    4 - Interneuron
    5 - Spinal Cord
    6 - Motor Neuron
    7 - Effector
    8 - Response

    4. Types of Neurons

    A - Motor Neuron
    B - Interneuron
    C - Sensory Neuron

    Function of A - Motor neurons are found in the central nervous system and are
    responsible for muscle movement.

    Function of B - Interneurons are responsible for connecting sensory neurons and


    motor neurons

    Function of C - Sensory neurons are responsible for transmitting information from


    stimuli such as touch, pain or temperature to the central nervous system.
