What occurs during transduction in the sensation process?

Sensory receptors convert stimulus energy into electrochemical energy

Electrochemical message leaves sensory neuron

Electrochemical message travels down the axon

Sensory neurons detect the presence of a stimulus

What is the function of neurotransmitters in sensation?

Transmit the signal across the synapse

Convert stimulus energy into electrochemical energy

Detect the presence of a stimulus

Convert electrochemical energy into visible light

Which sense organ is involved in detecting muscle sensations?

Receptors in joints, muscles, and tendons

You touch a hot coffee cup. What is the correct order of the sensation process?

Receptors in your fingers detect the heat → Heat energy is converted into a nerve impulse → Nerve impulse travels to your brain

Heat energy is converted into a nerve impulse → Receptors detect heat → Nerve impulse travels to your brain

Nerve impulse travels to your brain → Heat energy is converted → Receptors detect heat

Nerve impulse travels to your brain → Receptors detect heat → Heat is converted

You hear your favourite song on the radio. What is the correct order of the sensation process?

Ear receptors detect sound waves → Sound waves are converted into electrical impulses → Nerve impulse is sent to the brain

Sound waves are converted into electrical impulses → Ear receptors detect vibrations → Nerve impulse is sent to the brain

Nerve impulse is sent to the brain → Ear receptors detect sound waves → Sound waves are converted

Sound waves are converted into electrical impulses → Nerve impulse is sent to the brain → Ear receptors detect vibrations

You smell fresh popcorn at the movies. What is the correct order of the sensation process?

Receptors in your nose detect the chemical smell → Chemical molecules are converted to nerve signals → Nerve impulse is sent to your brain

Chemical molecules are converted to nerve signals → Receptors in your nose detect the smell → Nerve impulse is sent to your brain

Nerve impulse is sent to your brain → Receptors in your nose detect the smell → Chemical molecules are converted

Nerve impulse is sent to your brain → Chemical molecules are converted → Receptors in your nose detect the smell

You accidentally touch a sharp pin. What is the correct order of the sensation process?

Pain receptors detect the sharp sensation → The mechanical pressure is converted into a nerve impulse → Nerve impulse travels to your brain

The sharp pain is converted to a nerve impulse → Pain receptors detect it → Nerve impulse travels to your brain

Nerve impulse travels to your brain → Pain receptors detect the sharp sensation → The mechanical pressure is converted

Pain receptors detect the sharp sensation → Nerve impulse travels to your brain → The sharp pain is converted

You taste a sour lemon lolly. What is the correct order of the sensation process?

Sour taste receptors on your tongue detect the flavour → Chemical taste is converted to a nerve impulse → Nerve impulse travels to your brain

Chemical taste is converted to a nerve impulse → Sour taste receptors on your tongue detect the flavour → Nerve impulse travels to your brain

Nerve impulse travels to your brain → Sour taste receptors on your tongue detect the flavour → Chemical taste is converted

Nerve impulse travels to your brain → Chemical taste is converted → Sour taste receptors on your tongue detect the flavour
