3 Questions
What is sensory transduction?
The conversion of other forms of energy to electrochemical energy
What is the difference between tonic and phasic receptors?
Tonic receptors continue to transmit impulses as long as stimulus is present while phasic receptors are stimulated only when the strength of stimulus changes
How is the duration of a stimulus encoded?
By the frequency of nerve impulses generated and transmitted via a sensory nerve fiber
"Test Your Knowledge of Sensory Transduction: From Stimulus to Action Potential!" Take this quiz to explore the process of how receptors convert external stimuli into electrochemical signals. Test your understanding of ion channels, receptor membranes, and the movement of ions to generate an action potential.
