Transcript Receptors and Effectors

Receptors and Effectors
What are receptors and effectors and
to what do they respond?
Starter:
What are the 5 senses.
What are the stimuli for these?
What detect the stimuli?
Stimulus: a change in the environment that causes a response.
• outline the key components involved in neuron
coordination in the case of simple reflexes
• categorise the types of receptor needed to detect
different stimuli
• explain that receptors can be single cells or
grouped into complex organs
• investigate the location of specific receptors in
the eye
• explain that effectors are organs that contain
muscles or glands which allow the body to
respond to stimuli
