Transcription: Living things are sensitive to their surroundings. They can detect a stimulus and respond in a suitable way. Animals have sense organs, such as eyes and ears, that rapidly send information to the nervous system's control center, the brain. The brain processes the information and responds by sending instructions to the parts of the body that need to react. These may be the muscles that make the animal produce sounds or the muscles that enable it to bite into food.
