Key Concepts

Sensory Transduction

Sensory transduction is the process by which sensory receptors convert physical, chemical, or mechanical stimuli into electrical impulses. This conversion is fundamental to both special and general senses, enabling the nervous system to process and interpret external environmental information.

Nervous System Processing

The electrical signals produced during sensory transduction are transmitted through the nervous system. Whether through peripheral or central components, this pathway allows the brain to integrate and respond to sensory input, underscoring that all senses ultimately rely on electrical signaling for communication.
