Cells in the nervous system that convert proximal stimuli into neural signals are called
A)dendrites.
B)synapses.
C)sensory receptors.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory receptors are specialized cells that are responsible for converting proximal stimuli (such as light, sound, or touch) into neural signals that can be transferred to the brain. Dendrites are extensions of neurons that receive signals from other neurons, and synapses are the junctions between neurons where signals are transmitted. While both dendrites and synapses are involved in neural processing, they are not directly responsible for converting proximal stimuli into neural signals.
