Question

directions: select each correct answer. more than one answer may be correct.
special cells in the body are responsible for gathering information about the body’s environment. these cells are called receptor cells. the information gathered by receptor cells is encoded as electrical signals that travel along the body’s nerve cells. the brain and spinal cord then process the electrical signals to determine how the body should respond.
suppose information gathered by a group of receptor cells has just been processed by the nervous system. which of the following could happen next?

• the information could trigger an immediate behavior.
• the information could be stored as a memory.
• the information could be sent back to the receptor cells.

Explanation:

The question describes receptor cells sending signals to the nervous system, which processes the information. After processing, the nervous system typically triggers a response (behavior) or stores relevant info as memory. Receptor cells gather input, not receive processed info back.

Answer:

A. The information could trigger an immediate behavior, B. The information could be stored as a memory
