Detailed explanation-1: -In physiology, transduction is the translation of arriving stimulus into an action potential by a sensory receptor. It begins when stimulus changes the membrane potential of a receptor cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Transduction represents the first step toward perception and is a translation process where different types of cells react to stimuli creating a signal processed by the central nervous system resulting in what we experience as a sensations.
Detailed explanation-3: -Although the sensory systems associated with these senses are very different, all share a common function: to convert a stimulus (such as light, or sound, or the position of the body) into an electrical signal in the nervous system. This process is called sensory transduction.
Detailed explanation-4: -The receptor transforms the stimulus energy into electrical energy, thus establishing a common signaling mechanism in all sensory systems.
