Sensory Transduction Quiz

• The conversion of kinetic energy to potential energy
• The conversion of electrochemical energy to other forms of energy
• The conversion of other forms of energy to electrochemical energy (correct)
• The conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy

• Tonic receptors are involved in sensing touch while phasic receptors are involved in sensing temperature
• Tonic receptors are only found in the eyes while phasic receptors are found throughout the body
• Tonic receptors are rapidly adapting while phasic receptors are slowly adapting
• Tonic receptors continue to transmit impulses as long as stimulus is present while phasic receptors are stimulated only when the strength of stimulus changes (correct)

• By the frequency of nerve impulses generated and transmitted via a sensory nerve fiber (correct)
• By the location of the stimulus
• By the type of receptor activated
• By the number of receptors stimulated
