Sensory Response
Sensory response refers to how organisms react to stimuli from their environment through their senses. These senses include sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. When a stimulus is detected, sensory receptors send signals to the brain, which interprets the information and triggers an appropriate response. This process is essential for survival, helping organisms navigate their surroundings and make decisions.
Different species may have varying sensory responses based on their adaptations. For example, dogs have a highly developed sense of smell, allowing them to detect scents that humans cannot. In contrast, birds often rely on their vision to find food and avoid predators.
