Answer:

Sensory transduction

Explanation:

Sensory transduction is a process by which the sensory neuron transforms the obtained sensory information into an electric signal. Sensory neurons are the afferent neurons and are activated when they receive stimulus from a sensory receptor. This is followed by the firing of action potential to convey the sensory information into the CNS through the cranial or spinal nerve.

Change in temperature serves as a stimulus for thermosensory neurons present in the skin. The activated thermosensory neuron then produces an electric signal by the process of sensory transduction during which a nerve impulse is generated and action potential to convey the information.

an igneous rock forms quickly. which characteristics could the rock have? small sand grains. Large mineral crystals. smooth, sha
Shalnov [3]

Igneous rocks are formed by hot melted magma coming from the Earth's core that crystalizes when gets in contact with air. They can be either intrusive or extrusive. B) <em>Large mineral crystals.</em>

<h3>What is the igneous rock?</h3>

These rocks come straight from the interior of the Earth.

A liquid mass of silicate composition comes from the Earth's core. This melted mass comes at an extremely high temperature.

Magma begins to cool and solidify during its ascent to the Earth's surface. It solidifies and crystallizes into igneous rock following the magnetic field orientation.

Thre are two types of igneous rocks

• plutonic rocks ⇒ in areas close to the terrestrial crust ⇒ intrusive

• volcanic rocks ⇒ on the surface ⇒ extrusive
