Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sequence of steps involved in conveying sensory information to the CNS includes stimulation (of the sensory receptor), transduction (conversion of the stimulus into a neural signal), transmission (via afferent neurons), and interpretation (by the CNS). Neurotransmitter release and ion flow through the synaptic cleft occur as part of the communication between neurons, but they are not part of the main sequence of steps involved in conveying sensory information to the CNS.
