Answer:

Olfactory system

Explanation:

In an olfactory system, odor molecules are perceived by the olfactory receptors. These odor molecules are nothing but the chemicals which are then transduced as chemical signals into the electrical signals and sent to the brain. The brain perceives these electrical signals as smell.  

The odorant particles bind to the specific receptors located at cilia which then signal through the G protein Gαolf which then activate adenylate cyclase. Adenylate cyclase leads to cAMP production which then open a cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel through which both sodium and calcium ion entern into the cell. Calcium ion then activates chloride channels and thereby causing transduction of electrical signal

The three stages of Action Potential are:
1. depolarization- Na+ channels open up inside of the membrane and becomes more positive than the RMP.
2. repolarization- The Na+ channels inactivating and K+ channels opening AP spike stops rising to which the membrane returns to RMP.
3. hyperpolarization- A few of the <span>K+ channels remain open and the Na+ channels reset inside of membrane becomes more negative than RMP.
