Chapter 19, Problem 4WYL
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The three groups of receptors that are classified by stimulus origin.
Introduction:
Sensory receptors function like transducers; that is, they can change one form of energy into another form. The original form of energy detected is specific to the type of receptor. These forms of energy are detected within the eye, ear, and blood vessels. The form of transduced energy is always electrical energy. It is conducted along a sensory neuron.
