Detailed explanation-1: -After processing its many sensory inputs, the brain initiates motor outputs (coordinated mechanical responses) that are appropriate to the sensory input it receives. The spinal cord then carries this motor information from the brain through the PNS to various locations in the body (such as muscles and glands).
Detailed explanation-2: -Processes of Sensory Receptors The process of sensory receptors sensing environmental stimuli happens in distinct steps. Four known steps take place when stimuli are sensed. The four steps are reception, transduction, encoding and transmission of sensory information, and perceiving.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ascending pathway to the brain: Sensory information travels from the body to the spinal cord before reaching the brain. This information ascends upwards using first, second, and third-order neurons. First-order neurons receive impulses from skin and proprioceptors and send them to the spinal cord.
Detailed explanation-4: -Each sense receptor responds to different inputs (electromagnetic, mechanical, chemical), transmitting them as signals that travel along nerve cells to the brain. The signals are then processed in the brain, resulting in immediate behaviors or memories.
Detailed explanation-5: -The most fundamental function of a sensory system is the translation of a sensory signal to an electrical signal in the nervous system. This takes place at the sensory receptor. The change in electrical potential that is produced is called the receptor potential.
