Sensory Processes

    Cards (2)

    • Sensory Pathways:
      1. Sensory Reception: detect stimulus and sense organ
      2. Sensory Transduction: Converts stimulus to receptor potential (change in membrane potential)
      3. Transmission: sensory receptor depolarizes -> AP triggered (high receptor potential = more frequent AP's)
      4. Perception: Brain Processes Information
    • Types:
      • Chemo: taste and smell
      • Mechano: touch and hearing
      • Photo: light, seeing
