Sensory perception 1.)conscious process of selecting, organizing, and interpreting data from senses into meaningful info 2.)Perception is influenced by the intensity, size, change, representation of stimuli, past experiences, knowledge, attitudes. Stimulus 1.)agent or act that stimulates a nerve receptor Impulse conduction process - sensory functioning also do receptors respond to many stimuli or just one? 1.)receptor receives stimuli, translates it to impulse 2.)impulse travels along nerve pa...

Interphase - cell grows, performs its normal functions, and prepares for division; consists of G1, S, and G2 phases G1 phase - the cell grows in size and organelles double in size S phase - DNA replication ("S"= synthesize) G2 phase - cell growth, production of enzymes and other proteins two categories of mitosis - 1. karyokinesis (division of cell nucleus) 2. cytokinesis (division of cytoplasm) prophase - 1. chromatin condenses to form chromosomes; nuclear membrane and nucleol...

Sensory receptors Answer -Receptors convert stimuli in the environment into generator potential on sensory neuron -Sensory Neurons can be part of receptor or synapse on the receptor - different types of receptors are particularly sensitive to different, specific stimuli receptors cont. Answer -they can be free nerve endings on sensory nerves - receptors are sensitive to tissue damage and initiate sensation of pain via graded membrane potential charge -they can be specialized, independent...
