D)cellular response.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory transduction is the process by which sensory receptors convert physical or chemical stimuli into nerve impulses that are transmitted to the brain for perception and interpretation. Sensory reception refers to the initial detection of a stimulus by a sensory receptor, but does not encompass the entire process of transducing the stimulus into a nerve impulse. Motor response and cellular response are not related to the conversion of stimuli into nerve impulses.
