Sensory receptors: Specialized cells that detect changes inside and outside the body. They serve as the initial sensors for environmental and internal stimuli, providing essential information to the nervous system.
Integration: The process by which the nervous system processes sensory information and determines responses. It involves analyzing incoming data to decide on appropriate actions.
Motor response: Activation of muscles or glands to produce a reaction. It is the output that results from the nervous system’s processing, leading to physical or secretory actions.
Stimulus: Any change in the environment that is detected by sensory receptors. Stimuli can be internal or external and trigger sensory receptors to send information to the nervous system.
