Question:

How do animals become habituated to stimuli?

Author: seremi amune



Answer:

Stimulus is applied impulse passes along the sensory neurone which synapses with the motor neurone the motor neurone passes the impulse to the effector causing a muscle to contract or gland to secrete with repeated stimulus the Ca2+ channels of the sensory neurone become less responsive to changes in voltage so less neurotransmitters are released so less Na+ enter the motor neurone no action potential generated in motor neurone and no impulse is passed on to the effectors the animal has become habituated to the stimulus
