Question

Stimuli alter the activity of excitable sensory cells via
A) integration.
B) transmission.
C) transduction.
D) transcription.
E) amplification.

Accepted Answer

Sensory transduction is the process by which a stimulus is converted into a change in the membrane potential of a sensory receptor cell, which triggers an action potential. This is the initial step in sensory processing.

Therefore, the correct choice is C for transduction.
