What are the functions of the nervous system as illustrated in the provided diagram?
Understand the Problem
The image illustrates the functions of the nervous system, detailing how sensory receptors detect stimuli, how the brain interprets impulses, and how effectors respond to those impulses.
Answer
Detect stimuli, sense as nerve impulse, interpret impulse, produce response.
The functions of the nervous system, as illustrated, are detecting stimuli, sensing information as nerve impulses, interpreting impulses, and producing responses.
Answer for screen readers
The functions of the nervous system, as illustrated, are detecting stimuli, sensing information as nerve impulses, interpreting impulses, and producing responses.
More Information
The nervous system uses sensory receptors to detect changes in the environment, sends information to the brain, interprets this information, and takes action by responding appropriately to maintain homeostasis.
Tips
Confusion often occurs between detecting stimuli and interpreting them, which are separate functions. Ensure understanding of the flow from detection to response.
