  • 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.
  • What is the role of nerve tracts in the CNS?

  • 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.
  • What types of senses fall under somatic information?

  • Internal organ pressure, hunger, thirst, and blood pH levels
  • Touch, pressure, temperature, proprioception, and pain (correct)
