Lessongoals

• Understand: I can explain the difference between a stimulus and a response by correctly describing both terms.
• Apply: I can give examples of stimuli and responses by identifying real-life situations where they occur.
• Analyze: I can predict responses for different types of stimuli by reasoning how the body would react in various scenarios.

Stimulus (plural: stimuli)

• Something that produces a reaction in an organism
• Influences from the environment
• 'Things' sensory organs react to

Stimuli

Stimuli and impulses

• Sensory organs contain sensory receptors 
• Sensory receptors take in stimuli
• Stimuli become impulses in sensory receptors
• Impulse = electric signal in neurons 
• Impulses travel to the brain

The nervous system (see 1.1 page 11) contains all your nerves. 

These transport impulses from sensory organs to the brain

Specialized cells that can react to certain stimuli

Your nerves are made up of many cells, these cells are called neurons

You're on the sidewalk and notice this. What are the most important stimuli?

Impulses and responses

Sensory receptors --impulse--> brain

Once the impulses reach your brain, you become aware

Brain --impulse--> effectors

You can move and react to the stimuli = Response

Effectors are organs that can act (= do something), they act when instructed by impulses.

Often these are muscles, but they can also be glands that start producing substances

Responses

Responses can be:

• Voluntary > (conscious) decisions
• Involuntary > automatic, without your will

1. What stimuli will your body experience in the situation described underneath?
2. What will your response be?
3. Is it voluntary or involuntary?

You are using the stove, the pan has been on the stove for about 10 minutes.
You touch the hot metal handle of the pan.

These words I'll add to my PIF
