Answer 1

Answer:

The process of sensation occurs when one of the sensory systems (eyes, ears, skin, tongue, or nose) detects a stimulus.

Explanation:

Sensation is the identification of external or internal stimuli by an entity, involving human beings. It is distinct from the perception, which involve of trying to make sense of or stimulation or defining this.

It includes three moves:

• Sensory receptors identify stimuli.
• Sensory stimuli are transformed into electrical impulses (potentials of action) that the brain decodes to.
• Electrical impulses travel through neural connections to different parts of the brain, where they translate the impulses into valuable information (perception).
