Muscles are often described as biological transducers. This means that they
A) are concerned with input to the central nervous system.
B) are controlled primarily by afferent neurons.
C) convert environmental energy into the electrochemical signals of the nervous system.
D) convert the signals of the nervous system into body movements.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Muscles act as biological transducers by converting the electrochemical signals they receive from the nervous system into mechanical force, which results in body movements. This process involves the transformation of one form of energy (electrical signals from neurons) into another (mechanical energy leading to movement).
