Video Transcript

everybody. This is Ricky. And today I'm gonna be walking through problem number one from Chapter 38. And this is really just a definition problem. That's a calculated problem. S o the conversion of an environmental signals into a nerve impulses called sensory transaction. And so we have sense receptors after they did by a specific, uh, uncles are sorry. Stimulus. Um, they then generates an impulse, um strong. Well, it will fire an actual potential thio the central nervous system, and then central nervous system processes, sensory data. And this is lengthy, uh, kind of an overview of sensor transaction. All right, so I hope this video is helpful. I'll see in the next one.
