Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory receptors are specialized structures that detect various stimuli in the environment and transmit signals to the nervous system. Nerve pathways, sensory adaptations, and action potentials are all involved in the processing and transmission of sensory information, but they are not the primary means by which animals detect environmental stimuli. Thermoreceptors in the brain specifically detect temperature changes within the body, rather than external stimuli.
