The basis of sensory perception is...— Ans: the communications network
that the brain uses to receive information throughout the body.
Information is received from the....— Ans: peripheral nervous system
through a complex network of receptors that measure and return
information on the surrounding environment.
sensory receptors include— Ans: pressure, temperature, vibration, and pain
receptors.
Some of these receptors measure the amount of— Ans: blood flow through
a blood vessel (baroreceptors), while others measure light (photoreceptors
in the retina).
what are neurotransmitters— Ans: chemical messengers that move the
message from the periphery to the brain by activating or inhibiting
receptors as the information from the environment is present, or when it
becomes absent. (communication between brain and body)
If someone is squeezing your arm, those pressure (and perhaps
temperature) receptors are....— Ans: activated and send signals to the brain.
When the person stops the action, receptors are— Ans: inhibited to let the
brain know the sensation has stopped.
