Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Receptor cells in Chris's body are responsible for detecting the different types of stimuli, such as sound, light, and aroma. These stimuli are then converted to neural signals and transmitted to the brain for processing. The temporal lobes and occipital lobes are responsible for processing specific types of information such as sound and vision, respectively, but receptor cells are responsible for detecting the stimuli in the first place. Distal stimuli refer to the objects or events that are outside the body, which in this case would be the grill and food, but they are not part of the body's processing of the stimuli.
