Howitworks (funciona)? • Identifythestimulus (sg). A stimulusisanyactionorchange. It can be: • Externalstimuli (pl) are changesthathappen in ourenvironmentoutside (fuera) thebody. Oursenses capture thestimuli. • Internalstimuli are changesthathappeninside (dentro) ourbodybythe receptor organs. • Thebrainreceives and processestheinformation and decides theorder. • Theorderbecomes(se convierte en) a response and ourbodyreacts. The responses can be: • Motor responses happenwhenthemusclesmove. • Glandular responses happenwhenorganscalledglands produce a substance. Forexample: sweat (sudor)
