How do animals respond to stimulus?
Animals may respond to environmental stimuli through behaviors that include hibernation, migration, defense, and courtship. As a result of cold, winter weather (stimulus) some animals will hibernate. The animal’s body temperature drops, its heartbeat and breathing slow down, and it uses very little energy.
What is an example of response to stimuli?
A Look at Stimuli As humans, we detect and respond to stimulus in order to survive. For example, if you walk outside on a very sunny day, your pupils will constrict to protect your eye from taking in too much light and being damaged. Your body reacts to the stimulus (the light) to protect you.
What are stimuli responses?
Definition: Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus. The process begins with detection of the stimulus and ends with a change in state or activity or the cell or organism.
What are examples of stimuli?
Stimuli include:
- Irritants.
- Sights.
- Smells.
- Sounds.
- Temperature changes.
What type of stimuli do humans detect?
Mechanoreceptors detect mechanical forces. Photoreceptors detect light during vision. More specific examples of sensory receptors are baroreceptors, propioceptors, hygroreceptors, and osmoreceptors. Sensory receptors perform countless functions in our bodies mediating vision, hearing, taste, touch, and more.
What is the most complex human sense?

Which sense would be easiest to give up?
(In fact, taste and smell are apparently so bound up with each other that losing one would have a huge impact on the other, which unbalances things in ways I can’t account for). So the easiest to drop would probably be taste (followed by smell).
What is the most important sense?
By far the most important organs of sense are our eyes. We perceive up to 80% of all impressions by means of our sight. And if other senses such as taste or smell stop working, it’s the eyes that best protect us from danger.
Why smell is the least important sense?
Yes, in terms of functioning, smell does not influence our source of information to exist and operate, it is the sense that adds colour to our existence. So in general, and especially for our modern society, our full potential can only be achieved if we use and value all of our senses.
Which is worse losing sight or hearing?
According to a study from the Wilmer Eye Institute at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, most individuals feel the loss of vision would be the worst ailment that could happen to them over hearing loss and other physical conditions.
Can your hearing affect your sight?
Does hearing loss affect vision? Absolutely. If you lose your hearing, your sight becomes much more important because any loss of visual acuity makes it harder to read lips and use sign language.
Why is hearing more important than seeing?
And, most important, sounds communicate to the brain far more quickly than sights. Light travels faster than sound, but its pathway to the conscious brain is much slower. “While vision maxes out at 15 to 25 events per second, hearing is based on events that occur thousands of times per second.”
Is it better to be blind than deaf?
Helen Keller, that great deaf and blind lady, upon being asked whether she considers vision or hearing more important, replied: The problems of deafness are deeper and more complex, if not more important, than those of blindness. Deafness is a much worse misfortune.

What is it like to be deaf-blind?
