What is responsiveness and movement?

The receptor is a structure that senses a change in the body, such as the stretch receptors
that monitor blood pressure.

Cranial (contains the brain)

Vertebral (contains the spinal cord)
Thoracic (contains the heart and the lungs)
Abdominopelvic (contains all abdominal and pelvic organs)The Thoracic and
abdominopelvic cavities are separated by the diaphragm

Elimination of wastes, regulation of blood volume and pressure, blood composition and
pH, stimulation of red blood cell formation, control of fluid, electrolyte and acid-base
balance, detoxification

The ability to sense and react to stimuli (changes in the environment) is called
responsiveness or excitability. Most organisms should be capable of self propelled
movement from place to place.
