1161 - What happens when an animal's sensory organs receive external stimuli?

When an animal's sensory organs (like eyes, ears, or skin) receive external stimuli (like light, sound, or touch), they send a message to the animal's brain.

The brain then understands this message and helps the animal respond to what's happening around it. For example, if a bird sees a predator (stimulus), its eyes (sensory organ) send a message to the brain, and the brain tells the bird to fly away (response).
