Used to sense the environment, but doesn’t directly convert into electrical signals for our body
A
Nerves/neurons
B
Sensory organs
C
Stimulus
D
receptors
E
Spinal cord
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transduction is the process of converting energy of a stimulus into neural activity. The stimulus is recoded as a neural pattern. 2. Transduction can be affected by our experiences, such as through adaptation; a constant level of stimulus results in a decreased response over time.

Detailed explanation-2: -That system was the nervous system, which is based upon the almost instantaneous transmission of electrical impulses from one region of the body to another along specialized nerve cells called neurons.

Detailed explanation-3: -The peripheral nervous system is made up of nerves. These nerves are made up of tiny cells called neurons that transmit electrical signals.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sensory neurons are the nerve cells that are activated by sensory input from the environment-for example, when you touch a hot surface with your fingertips, the sensory neurons will be the ones firing and sending off signals to the rest of the nervous system about the information they have received.
