Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sensory system is responsible for receiving and processing information from outside the body, such as from the senses of sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. Transduction refers specifically to the process of converting sensory input into neural signals, while proprioception refers to the sense of one's own body position and movement. "Perceptory" is not a commonly used term in neuroscience.
