A transducer is device for converting a non-electrical signal into an elct one. The result is action potential Example: conversion of light energy into electrical signals in the retina of the eye

Cells called what detect changes in the environment known as stimuli?
they are called receptors.
What does a system consist of?
A sensory system includes the sensory receptors, neural pathways, and the parts of the brain which are involved in sensory perception. The senses act as the transducers from the physical world to the mind where the information gathered by the senses is interpreted.
What are the sensory receptors for the tongue?
cheese
Which sensory receptors are constantly being replaced?
olfactory, receptors and taste buds
What receives stimuli and forms impulses?
Receptors or more precisely, sensory receptors.
How does the sensory receptors act as transducers?
sensory receptors detect changes(light levels, pressure on skin) in our surroundings. they convert one form of energy into another particular form of energy.
What does a sensory system include?
A sensory system includes the sensory receptors, neural pathways, and the parts of the brain which are involved in sensory perception. The senses act as the transducers from the physical world to the mind where the information gathered by the senses is interpreted.
What is the sensory receptor in the eyes What is the sensory receptor in the nose What is the sensory receptors in the tongue What is the sensory receptors in the skin?
the sensory receptors for the eyes are the cornea and the optic nerve
Cells called what detect changes in the environment known as stimuli?
they are called receptors.
What are the sensory receptors of the eyes ears nose skin and tongue?
The receptors of the eye are photo receptors, the ear has auditory receptors, the nose has olfactory (smell) receptors, the skin has tactile (touch)and thermo- (temperature) receptors and the tongue has gustatory (taste) receptors.

How are sensory receptors classified?
somatic receptors and special receptors
What do sensory receptors enable you to do?
Sensory receptors enable you to respond to stimuli in the environment of an organism. Some sensory receptors respond to taste and smell while others respond to physical stimuli.
Are eyes nose tongue and skin sensory receptors?
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
Are the eyes ears nose tongue and skin are sensory receptors?
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
Are the eyes nose tongue and skin sensory receptors?
The eyes, nose, skin and tongue HAVE sensory receptors.
What are the brain stimulus receptors?
Brain stimulus receptors are considered "selective transducers" by physiologists. The reason that they are referred to as this is that the receptors convert certain information by turning it to energy.
