Sensation

• Sensation is the detection of stimuli by sensory receptors, while perception is the propagation of action potentials to the CNS by nerves.
• Sensation is the stimuli received by sensory receptors, while perception is the conscious awareness of stimuli received by sensory receptors. (correct)
• Sensation is the distribution of stimuli over the body, while perception is the translation of action potentials for awareness of the stimulus.
• Sensation is the interpretation of stimuli by the cerebral cortex, while perception is the conversion of stimuli into action potentials.

• Nerve tracts convert stimuli into action potentials for transmission to the CNS.
• Nerve tracts interpret and comprehend stimuli by the cerebral cortex.
• Nerve tracts convey action potentials to the cerebral cortex and other areas of the CNS. (correct)
• Nerve tracts detect stimuli originating inside or outside the body.

• Internal organ pressure, hunger, thirst, and blood pH levels
• Touch, pressure, temperature, proprioception, and pain (correct)
• Taste, smell, vision, hearing, and equilibrium
• Balance, acceleration, body position, and muscle stretch
