Stimulus

The electrical impulses go from the stimulus to the..

1 of 21

stimulus

light

sound

pressure

chemicals

chemicals/smells

2 of 21

Recepor

receptor

3 of 21

A receptor gets information

Your nose

your eyes

your skin

your tongue

your ears

Sensory neurone

sensory neurone

5 of 21

sensory neurons carry signals from receptors to the spinal cord and brain

6 of 21

CNS- central nervous system

7 of 21

Your central nervous system consists of your brain and spinal cord

8 of 21

Synapse

9 of 21

A synapse is a gap in between firstly the sensory and relay neurone, synapses are managed by the vesicles at the end of a neurone which secrete chemicals that diffuse across the synapse.

Relay neurone

11 of 21

A relay neurone passes on the signal from the sensory neurone to the motor neurone

12 of 21

synapse

13 of 21

A synapse is a gap secondly in between the relay and motor neurone Synapses are managed by vesicles at the end of a neurone which secretes chemicals that diffuse across the synapse.

14 of 21

Motor neurone

15 of 21

A nerve cell that specifically controls and stimulates muscles and glands

16 of 21

effector

17 of 21

An effector is a muscle or gland. It is the thing that is effected by the stimulus

18 of 21

Response

19 of 21

The response is what your body does after the stimulus

20 of 21
