Detailed explanation-1: -Sensation & Perception Sensation: The stimulation of sensory receptors and the transmission of sensory information to the central nervous system.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sensory receptors are specialized cells that detect changes in the environment and convert these changes into electrical signals that can be processed by the nervous system.
Detailed explanation-3: -function. A sensory neuron transmits impulses from a receptor, such as those in the eye or ear, to a more central location in the nervous system, such as the spinal cord or brain.
Detailed explanation-4: -All sensory signals begin as receptor potentials. These potentials lead to a release of a neurotransmitter that excites its corresponding nerve to send information to the brain. Just as with regular nerve signal transduction, creating a receptor potential requires surpassing a threshold level in the membrane potential.
