Question

question 30
the process through which the senses convert physical stimuli into electrochemical impulses is called ______.
1 pts
d) synaptogenesis
a) action potential
b) neurogenesis
c) transduction

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Action potential is the electrical signal in a neuron, not sensory conversion.
• Option B: Neurogenesis is the formation of new neurons, irrelevant to sensory stimulus conversion.
• Option C: Transduction is the process where sensory receptors convert physical stimuli (like light, sound, pressure) into electrochemical impulses (action potentials) that the nervous system can process.
• Option D: Synaptogenesis is the formation of synapses, not related to sensory stimulus conversion.

Answer:

C) transduction
