- 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 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.
