Essay

What is reciprocity?

Understand the concept and mechanism of sensory receptor cells, including their role in transducing physical or chemical stimuli into electrical signals.

Describe how the process of sensory transduction involves a change in membrane potential and the generation of receptor and action potentials.

Recognize the molecular mechanisms by which various stimuli (e.g., chemical, mechanical) activate specific sensory receptors, leading to the opening or closing of ion channels.

Grasp the principle of sensory adaptation and its behavioral implications, such as the ability to ignore constant stimuli while remaining sensitive to new information.
