Question

Sensory pathways have four basic functions: sensory reception, transduction, transmission, and perception. How do these functions differ between yourself and a star-nosed mole

Answer 1

Answer:

-The perception of sensory input by humans and star-nosed moles differs.

-The number and type of sensory receptors in humans and star-nosed moles differ.

Explanation:

Animals employs a diverse amount of sensory receptors to identify broadly different stimuli. Take for instance, humans possesses wonderful and top notch vision, while the mole strives in darkness and is kind of blind. The star-shaped nose of the mole possesses 25,000 mechanoreceptors, which is more than the amount a human has in the entire hand.

Perception of sensory input is an abstract entity developed in the brain of an animal, as perception differ to a large degree among species to species. Every specie has a perceptual environment that is structured by natural selection to pass across the concept that is important for its survival and reproductive achievements.
