Receptors
The eyes respond to changes in light.
What is photoreceptors
A long fibre that is part of a neuron that carries electrical impulses away from the neuron.
What is an axon
The hormones in our body are secreted by a specialised cell complex. What are they?
What are glands
True or false? Stimulus --> Sensor --> Control Centre --> Effector
What is True
How does the body respond during hypothermia?
What is shivering, goosebumps, vasoconstriction
These receptors allow you to taste and detect the food that you eat.
What are chemoreceptors
The gap between the axon and dendrite of two neighbouring neurons.
What is the synapse
When you eat chocolate, which gland responds to reduce blood glucose levels?
What is the pancreas
Controls conscious movement and responses.
What is somatic
Typing on a keyboard
What is somatic action
These receptors are located in the skin and detect temperature.
What are thermoreceptors
A chemical messenger that carries a chemical message from one neuron to another.
What is the neurotransmitter
Known as the "master gland"
What is the pituitary gland
In a negative feedback loop, the response detected by receptors is transmitted to the control centre, which causes effectors to carry out actions that counteract the detected changes. True or false?
What is true
Vasoconstriction of blood cells
What is to prevent heat loss
These receptors are responsible for maintaining balance.
What are mechanoreceptors
A filament that is part of a neuron that receives the electrical impulse.
What is the dendrite
What gland is responsible for the assist in fighting off disease and infection?
What is the thymus gland
The changes in insulin before, during and after eating are an example of a positive feedback loop. True or false?
What is false
Connecting motor and sensory neurons to transmit messages.
What is an interneuron
2 triangle-shaped glands, on top of the kidneys, that regulate metabolism, blood pressure, and stress response
What is the adrenal gland
What are two examples of positive feedback loops?
What are blood clotting and childbirth
