Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory receptor cells are stimulated by various forms of physical energy such as light, sound, pressure, temperature, and chemical molecules. Sensation begins with the conversion of this physical energy into neural signals that can be interpreted by the brain. Substance P is a neurotransmitter involved in pain perception but not in sensation. Messages transmitted from the brain are part of perception, not sensation. Monocular cues are visual cues that help us perceive depth and distance, but they are not related to the stimulation of sensory receptor cells.
