AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Sensory receptors are either specialized cells associated with sensory neurons or the specialized ends of sensory neurons that are a part of the peripheral nervous system, and they are used to receive information about the environment (internal or external).

Detailed explanation-2: -Receptors: Receptor neurons sense the environment (light, sound, touch, and chemicals) around you and convert it into electrochemical energy that is sent by sensory neurons. Interneurons: Interneurons sends messages from one neuron to another.

Detailed explanation-3: -Receptors. Receptors are groups of specialised cells. They detect a change in the environment stimulus. In the nervous system this leads to an electrical impulse being made in response to the stimulus.

Detailed explanation-4: -A sensory neuron picks up stimuli from the internal or external environment and converts each stimulus into a nerve impulse. An interneuron is a neuron that carries nerve impulses from one neuron to another. A motor neuron sends an impulse to a muscle or gland, and the muscle or gland then reacts in response.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sensory Receptors. Sensory receptors are nerve endings or specialised cells which convert (transduce) stimuli from the environment into afferent nerve impulses; the impulses pass into the CNS where they initiate appropriate voluntary or involuntary responses.
