_______________ occurs when sensory receptor cells detect a stimulus and then convert it into a neural impulse that transmits that message to the brain.

a. Accommodation
b. Transduction
c. Convergence
d. Diffusion
e. Calibration

B. transduction
Transduction takes place in the nervous system and is when a physical stimuli is converted into neural impulse which is then transmitted to the central nervous system (consists of the brain and spinal chord).

The process that occurs when sensory receptor cells detect a stimulus and then convert it into a neural impulse that transmits that message to the brain is called transduction. This is a crucial part of how we perceive and interact with the world around us. Transduction involves the conversion of stimuli detected by receptor cells into electrical impulses, which are then transported to the brain. All types of senses, be it touch, taste, sight, smell, or hearing, undergo sensory transduction, enabling us to experience and navigate our environment efficiently. This process is the foundation of sensation, where our sensory organs receive information, and perceive, the interpretation and organization of that information. Our experiences, though rich and complex, are framed through the sensory strengths and limitations specific to humans.

The process described is known as transduction , which involves sensory receptor cells converting stimuli into neural impulses sent to the brain for interpretation. This mechanism is essential for allowing organisms to perceive their environment. Therefore, the chosen answer is b. Transduction .
